Oh good grief! :rolleyes:
This is is called money saving expert. Theres a clue there in the bit that says "money" and "saving".
Now if someone buying - lets say a punnet of plums at the street market, asked what the lowest price was, then offered below it, everyone would be cheering and clapping a good money saver.
Expect now its buying a house, not plums. So if course the same money saving technique is greeted with derision by the lot of you saying the buyers is a "time waster", "not serious" etc etc..
Balls to that! Why is it that money saving is ok so long as its not money saving while buying house? Because when you buy a house, everyone seems to think you have to bend over, drop your keks and hand the seller a tub of vaseline.
Absolutely no way. When it comes to the buying and selling of houses, the buyer is the consumer. this site is about consumer rights! WHY DOES EVERYONE SLATE A CONSUMER FOR TRYING TO SAVE MONEY WHILE BUYING A HOUSE!? :mad:
I've never slated her for trying to save money, just the methods used.
Nice analogy about the vaseline - but that's exactly what SHE wants from me.:A Born a Saint, always a Saint!I am a Mortgage Adviser

When I started this thread it was to show an example of the marketplace, not to get unsolicited, unsubstantiated abuse from people like you.
What do you do for a living then?
No it wasn't..You are moaning because you may 'lose' 12K and cannot move if you don't get that money. It's not abuse at all.
This site is moneysaving not 'makingmoneyfromequity you have done nothing to deserve'
By the way, I am a landlord, so the declining marketplace is bad for me.
Also I am a financier...In other words, the person who lends the money for mortgages.0 -

Your house really isn't anything special to look at.
Plus you are trying to sell it for nearly £40k more than you paid for it 3 years ago.
In this market, you've got no chance. You should have bitten her arm off while you had the chance.
Thanks, that's a No then is it?:D
I don't fancy yours much either.....:rotfl:
The price I paid for it is irrelevant when you consider that the houses I will consider buying have increased in the last three years as well.
The fact that we're all decreasing now means its a level playing field.:A Born a Saint, always a Saint!I am a Mortgage Adviser

Pity you can't even recognise the unsolicited abuse you write yourself - forgot about recommending that people avoid me if they want mortgage advice?
Typical financier...dodges responsibility....

Your house really isn't anything special to look at.
But it is in one of the most beautiful parts of the New Forest.
Even if you are a saint
, FWIW I know the area where you live well, and I like where your house is. Compared to what I could get where I am (naval town, just down the road;)) the kind of properties for the same price are not as nice. 0
