    I cant believe you said that. Any disagreement posted here is deleted by a mod!!! You do realise how heavily censored this forum is dont you?

    Hi Johnny,
    I've never had a post deleted for voicing a difference in opinion.

    so to misquote my good mate Gary Coleman

    Many people MEWed to build extensions & loft conversions. MSEers have enough understanding of money to know that there is nothing wrong with that.

    Edit I never did understand the problem with MEWing to add to the value of a house?

    You speak as if MSErs are a homogenous entity. They are not.

    And MEWing for any reason is potentially dangerous, even to "add value" to your home. Because if the value of your home decreases, you loose your money and end up in negative equity.

    Nobody should borrow too much money. But sometimes it's cheaper to extend your house than move, so as long as you can afford it where's the harm?

    Presumbly one would intend to stay in the house for a while if investing in an extension or something, so NE is not really an issue.

    no problem with mewing for extension/loft etc but i bet many more mewed for cars/holidays/paying back credit cards than adding to the house
