Blech. It sounds like that house might not be worth the trouble. Maybe y'all could get a smaller place to start with?

I just can't afford a place by myself but I really don't want to get sucked into another house share with people I've never met before.

I clubbed together with Mum on the ridiculous cash bond, which means I'm broke, but at least we can still move in tomorrow.

Ah, you made the bond! In that case, congratulations, good luck in the new house, and happy settling in!
