    You may be patient but your greed is the same. You want everything that every other house buyer seems to want. A decent house that will rise in price once you have bought it so that you can sell it at a profit and buy an even better house. Either that or you want 'an investment' in property and you want to make money.

    The very people who are in negative equity were exactly the same as yourselves a few years ago, first time buyers who were hoping to buy a house. Its all very well to gloat and to call them gullible in hindsight but I wonder what you would have done in the same situation.

    I hope you come unstuck, I really do.

    Nope I want a house big enough to raise a family and one that doesn't require 2 salaries to finance as you see I'd like my children to be more than just latch key kids. :rolleyes: Not everyone on here is as greedy and disgustingly selfish as the bulls. :eek:

    95% of the people on here who claim that people who bought in the past 2 years were gullible were only saved from buying themselves during that time due to their inability to save high enough of a deposit.

    There is nothing prudent about that. It was purely good fortune.

    The other 5% were smart enough to see the market for what it was at the time yet I'm sure that they wouldn't dream of gloating quite so much if at all...

    Nope I have been saving since 2004. :beer: Some people just use their brains and recognise a bubble when they see one and aren't lead like lambs to financial slaughter. :T

    lies - you moved in with your mother in late 2006 to try and sort your debts out!!

    you also looked at BTL as investment to get on the housing ladder...

    do we need to copy that post with the whole story across from HPC.co.uk?

    you really need to get your story straight...

    and an opportunity to pay down debt and save - you're right.

    You obviously have me confused with someone else but thanks for the totally unwarranted vitriol. :rolleyes: You don't sound a very pleasant or happy character at all. :beer:
