theres no need to be rude and abusive.

anyway you are WRONG!

They could have bought theit first house with cash for lets say 50k. in 1999.

The price sweelss to 150k in 2007. They sell it and when the house crash oocus they buy a MUCH MUCH MCU bigger house for 150k.

same money spent - much bigger house trading up.

Do you only post things after drinking 2 litres of white lightning?

Meaning you posts have all the attributes of the ramblings of a towncentre wino, packed with venom and lacking basic coherence.

But you are being abusive and rude.

You are now on IGNORE. And I have reported you.

Also you will note your grammar is not beyond reproach either.

It's the same story for us. We had a 3 bed semi in a nice area but huge numbers of the same sort of houses. We sold it for £375k in 2007 which was more than any comparable property in the area had ever sold for. Tbh we never expected to get 375k for it but we were lucky in that a couple of oldies offered the asking price without having sold their houses in the first week so when people who were actually in a position to buy wanted we had good grounds for not budging. We sold it in 3 weeks.

Given that some of the agents told us at the peak that £330k was about the right price for that house I wouldn't like to be trying to sell it now. We would never have been able to make the move to a bigger property if we hadn't sold then. Ok it would have been better if we'd STR but where we live now the prices aren't budging, in fact they seem to be higher than when we were looking - maybe hoping people will offer 20% off and think they are getting a bargain. Also 3 bed houses to rent round here cost more than our fixed rate mortgage and our house has 4 bedrooms.

So I'm glad we moved when we did tbh.

I bet you would have been a lot happier if you would have rented until now and bought in todays market, you might say house prices arent budging but trust me they are, with you trading up it probably wont be as bad as what it could have been, but just think you may have got the home your living in now, for the same price you sold yours for, if you would have rented till now.

Ive had my house on the market since 2007 and at first i wanted to sell and rent but we have small children and the missus was not too keen on the idea, so i think by us not selling has done us a favour.

It could have been worse you could have been a first time buyer and bought when you did last time, now that would have been a bad move.

Same response as last time, your posting history comprises solely of your ignorant comments, sneers and jibes to other users, whilst constantly whinging that you have been offended, your a troll and a sorry example to boot, feel free to report any post more offensive than your personality.
