Rented for 6 months when I sold my last house. Would have probably been tempted to carry on renting but landlord wanted to sell at a price I wasn`t prepared to pay. Couldn`t keep uprooting 3 children when l/l wants to sell. I`m sure it`s worse now as you read about people finding letters telling them house is being repossessed. That uncertainty isn`t for me. The mortgage I pay on my home is affordable and always will be.0 -
Exactly Space rider , nobody in their right mind would "choose" that lifestyle.0

Can you lend your crystal ball to the OP. It does not realise the value of investments can go down as well as up.0 -
Not much security in having gangs of chavs running around your estate lobbing empty cans of Frosty Jack cider at your "home" or having to run the gauntlet of burbury clad pitbull owners if you want to pop out for a pint of milk. Although I suspect (like everyone in corpy housing) you live on a "nice estate".
at least if you rent next to some chavs you can just move at the drop of a hat. imagine if you had bought a hideously overpriced two up two down only to discover that you lived next to a bunch of reprobates and you couldn't move as you were now trapped there by negative equity.0 -

If chavs appear on "my estate" I would have them arrested ! (or possibly shot :rotfl:)0 -

Pretty flower dont worry, he has just woke up and looked in the mirror and realised what a joke he is, fat bald and all alone.By underclass you mean those of us who work every hour we can to pay our own way in the world? Work hard to pay the rent and bills...presumably people like me aye?
Well i dont know about everyone but i'd rather be known as the 'underclass' as you put it than some upper class snob who thinks the worlds owes them something. While we're here should we all bow down at your feet?
Just pity him because when he goes back to sleep again he will never change.0
