High Court blow for UK homeowners

Ahh, so you are going to lever up to the eyeballs, sorry about that.
No leverage necessary to buy my home, should be covered by my savings by 2010 thank you very much. Though if the govt are determined to bleed the country dry to facilitate low interest rates I might get something back from a bad situation and maybe take an up to 1x salary mortgage to get something nicer.
Some of us took a look at the market and chose to hold on to our cash knowing we could get a much better deal down the line.--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -
Let the government prevent repossessions for the first entire year of non-payment.
And then HMG can watch mortgage deals for FTBs move to a 60% LTV requirement :rotfl:0 -
I really would recommend ignoring pickledpink. I have just gone back to the last post I made on this board, and found he has added two pages worth of abuse of another poster, and then just for good measure started a thread based on a two-year-old newspaper report to belittle that same poster.
I have reported both to abuse for deletion.
After that, I've gone to look at his past posts, and the first one is this one belittling you, the second one is also taking the pee out of you, the third one is something about S+M, the fourth one is mocking you, and the next umpeen posts are generally mocking someone or other.
I find braggats boring. And NDG CONSTANTLY bangs on about her Daddy - the QC - and her OH the barrister etc..............she talks about them in nearly every post and it's boring; IF it's indeed true. After all, for someone who is supposedly so busy she seems to spend mopst of her day and night on here!:rolleyes:
And as for you, Meester, do your best. Do you seriously think MSE are going to delete my posts' on YOUR say-so?:rotfl: I haven't sworn, or called people retards, been crude, racist, threatening etc.......like your cyber buddies on here!:p
By the way - I'm a SHE. You obviously think I've got balls.:j0 -
What many of our more idiotic housing bulls here don't seem to get is that people actually can CHOOSE not to buy. They are so blinded by dogma that they imagine that anyone who could possibly borrow enough to buy into property would do so, irrespective of whether it made financial sense or not. They just don't get it.
I suspect that this sort of weak-minded 'thinking' has landed a load of them up to their necks in debt.
Well !!!!!!, you stop worrying your little head about it. It's not your problem!
If people want to buy that's up to them. Why are you always in such a state over it?
Anyone would think you were trying to talk the market down so you could get YOUR grubby paws on a place!:p
When is it you said you were going to buy? When you're about 50?:rotfl:0 -

I'm not the kind of person to encourage people to board the Titanic, you see. If I step in or see a puddle in the street, I'll warn someone else too.
Do you think that if you can con enough people into jumping on board a rapidly sinking ship it'll give you an opportunity to get off it yourself or something? If so, better have a rethink. This is just an internet forum and won't swing an entire catastrophically failing market.--

Had to reply to this (she says rather warily...:rotfl: )
I have never found NDG that sort of person, in fact she has made many helpful posts in the past (especially with giving me ideas and advice on possible home working vacancies to get around my conundrum of care duties and wanting to work).
One thing I have found in life is that people tend to talk about their own life experience as a way of empathising with another, I am certainly guilty of it in 90% of my posts and do start to worry that it is boring people to hear about my life.
I have only seen rare mention of NDG's parents, slightly more regarding her OH and loads about her son (I am as bad, we are both proud parents!) but the general theme of her replies is as helpful advice, not boasting.
Anyway, I will let everyone get back to their arguements...blimey you are all worse than my kids who can bicker for England (ooppss there I go again, mentioning my kids! :rotfl: )We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Actually, pickledpink - that's not quite true, is it?
You called me a number of choice epithets, which were all reported to abuse and subsequently deleted. You've had a large number of posts deleted.
I fail to recall a single constructive post of yours ie not intended either to (a) gloat or (b) put someone else down.
You know, you don't need to.
There is another way of living.
I'm not saying we'd all be your best friend if you posted less abusively, but you might find you were more satisfied with your lot?
Worth a try.0 -

One of them is already gone.... A whole thread in fact, deleted. Not sure who my cyber buddies are supposed to be, I'm just a bit confused at why you go out of your way to be rude to people. As is often said, if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say it at all. Or at least address the issue, not the person (which you do repeatedly).By the way - I'm a SHE. You obviously think I've got balls.:j
I'm glad you find that flattering.0 -

Well I don't know why you think your opinion is better than anyone else's: or is that because you think we're all retards??:D
Actually, you're incredibly transparent - and it's perfectly obvious that you're praying for property to fall further just so that you can get your grubby paws on one!:rotfl:
And cut the bull$hit about being concerned about people! Like HELL you are! You are just hoping some 'retard'- as you like to call them - possibly with a wife and two young kiddies will have their home repossessed - so greedy guts YOU can fly in like a vulture and grab it as cheaply as you can!
Even your username - !!!!!! - speaks volumes about your mentality!!:mad:0 -
oh pickle oh pickled, why dont you give it up? your obviously jealous of a lot of people on here, you pretend to gloat on other poples misfortunes and make out your world is perfect..
We all know your one twisted and bitter person, no one believes a word that comes out your mouth, and your sneaky insults and put downs are comical and really childish.
Im a member of many forums and you do get the odd idiot, but i have to give you credit, your by worse the most bitter idiot,i have ever met in any forum.
I bet when you was a kid your mom used to tie a bone around your kneck so the dog would play with you.:p
People like you couldnt live in the real world, so they make a name up and come on here to pretend to be something there not.
Its just a shame you can not find that bone?
If you canT find a bone to stick around your kneck ill send you a fresh one with plenty of meat which should keep you busy for a few years, infact ill send a whole cow gladly.:p
Just give us all a rest from your whopper stories and you porky pie tails.:p
