Three spare bedrooms? There's something a bit sad about that.
Is there? my parents stay, my brother, his kids and we may have more children. (why buy a three bed when we need the extra room for guests etc as we have moved further away from our family)
There is something sad about the losers on here trying to make out I made a mistake.
Are you all in denial or is it anger?
AD made the point about why do bulls say about missing the boat! I have never said that.
But look at some of the bears on here, very sad if you have to hurl insults at a stranger on the Internet.:rotfl:
Insecurity is a bad thing I suggest some of you get some security from something you obviously have a poor quality of life to be making school yard coments like the above users have made.
PS fatpig er have we not just come out of the coldest winter for years? house was fine and cheap to run, never mind hey.0 -

When we lived in Scotland, the wife and I bought a 4 bed house, just for the two of us.
We too were planning for the future.
The property now earns a very nice rental income as a BTL property.
We now have a son so if and when we move back, we already have a place we can see out our days.
There's nothing wrong with planning for the future and putting it in action if you can.:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

The funny thing is there are single bears on here say they are looking to buy a 4 bed not a two or a three (when prices fall 70%)).
Conistancy is not a stance for the bears on here:)
But you right thinking for the future was our main plan also I wanted the down stairs space.0 -

Sure enough. Nothing wrong with planning. You just have to make good decisions, and think beyond conclusions you come to from charts and stats.
I might buy a house in Aberdeen at the bottom.. Not for BTL purposes (I'd give it over to some charity and allow them to keep the pennies in rent their tenants are able to pay)... but as a monument to the dangers of narrow bubble-head thinking, and how their minds worked in justifying the crazy sums they got in to debt for on multiple properties.
How they justified their property rampage and leverage of debt with claims they bought it for their child so they could be mortgage free at 18. How they underestimated how property values can seriously correct from boom-thinking, to give a situations where money buys a lot more, and how there will be no return to peak in their lifetime... but with the paradigm smashed and investment looking for smarter wealth creating opportunities to back.0 -

Care to support that statement with some facts? Yes If someone is abusing me I will stand up for myself as it it seems like most of the bears thank or put up with their more nasty counterparts.
I may get in to the odd heated discussion but I never come on here just to hurl abuse like some do.0 -

Not sure if that was a dig or support. But I thought there must be some nice people on here so I thanked it
