About me

On Track BJ2I am Jet (although people who don't embrace my cool nickname call me Jess) and I've just bought a house with my boyfriend.

I'm a 23 year old with a mortgage and it's a little bit terrifying.

I wanted to start a blog to ease people through the house-buying process as well as document everything we are getting up to in the new house.

As a first-time buyer I thought I was pretty clued up on the whole process. I've worked for an interiors PR agency for two years, have some world experience, have property developing parents and love research. Holy hell I was not prepared. I certainly wasn't prepared for the heartache of searching for a house and then all the paperwork that followed once we found one.

The boyf is pretty chilled over the whole matter, no emotional reactions to huge gardens, no weeping over the perfect house. Perhaps a little money stress but otherwise, laid back as all hell. I tend to get too excited, he doesn't get excited enough. It's a good combo that keeps us (me) both grounded and sensible.
