Agree with you about the one that is reduced in half Pickles...except they didn't pick up on the pricing error for several months! Must admit when I first saw it and the price, it was one of those tea spitting over the keyboard moments. :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.

So the price now should be 425,000 pound and if it continues to fall at 2.2% each month for the next 12, that 500,000 pound house, will be worth about 300,000 pound.:eek:
I reckon there going too fall even more, because if you go back 12 months it was not has bad as it is now, im just going to keep on saving.
I think as long as you have got a decent deposit and a regular income you should be able to get a mortgage.
No ones buying has everyone can see the prices collapsing, you would have to be a idiot to buy today.
im just waiting for these bargains, at the rates the houses are falling i could be getting a house that was worth 500,000 pound in 2007 for 165000 pound:o
fingers crossed hey;)

In yer dreams, TWERP!:rotfl: :rotfl:
Besides, there's a lot of people out there with wads of cash.......any bargains to be had will be snapped up before people like you even get a look in!:p You are VERY naive!!!:rotfl:
Anyway, it doesn't make any difference to me, personally, how much property prices fall - or eventually rise - I own my house OUTRIGHT - so it makes no odds to me!:p
If my house drops in price - so does everyone ele's. Likewise, when my property goes up in price - so do everyone else's. So what?0 -

She got herself a sugardaddy. Not really her house as such.0 -
If pp does own her house outright and I've seen an idle boast that it's worth £500k (lets be generous and say that's what it's worth now) then
she is £136.99 worse off every day
or £5.71 an hour
or 9.5p an minute
This based on a conservative estimate of a 10 % fall continuing for the next 12 months."An arrogant and self-righteous Guardian reading tvv@t".
!!!!!! is all that about?0 -

I had seen that rumoured on the forum for a while, but thought I'd ask the question. Hopefully pp with respond and let us in on any mortgage overpayment secrets s/he has. I could do with some, my mortgage free challenge is stalling a bit now.robin_banks wrote: »If pp does own her house outright and I've seen an idle boast that it's worth £500k (lets be generous and say that's what it's worth now) then

If home owners are not 'better off' when a market rises, how can they be 'worse off' when the market falls?
Surely, the price of anything you own is immaterial until you come to sell it?Mortgage Free in 3 Years (Apr 2007 / Currently / Δ Difference)
