    Erm, the morons are the ones expecting a 70% drop. That is moronic, thus morons. It has nothing to do with whether you own or not, it's about... well being a moron really.

    And for the last paragrapgh, dry your eyes, I started posting in the mortgages section when my fixed deal was coming to an end, and got directed over here as well. Nothing to do with indices.

    Is there a punchline to this?

    Yes. Lots. Nearly every single post infact.

    Well, you got that one wrong, again. Maybe it was just another lie, or maybe it's the usual tactic of "lolol he has 5 accounts"

    Great. Offtopic and descended into a slanging match within ten posts. This board is becoming so tiresome.

    Don't blame me, just responding to abuse and accusations from the usual suspects.

    Edit: Anyway, the whole thread can be read in cleavers post ;)

    A question, I notice that affordabilty is below the long term average (even though house prices are rising icon7.gif) especially compared to the late 80's early 90's :eek: Is this index (Nationwide) just based on FTBers or all mortgage holders costs ?

    BTW, great to have you back Cleaver, you nearly make up for all those missing ones :beer:

    Beware the bull trap.

    Frankly a measly 0.9% rise in the middle of the spring bounce is rather pathetic. Just think on a few months and the cold winter nights and the monthly prices drops of 2 or 3%. Those mugs who buy now will be regretting it then. :T
