    Just found this thread.

    My view on things is in discussion time here

    Martin Lewis is always giving us advice on how to force companies to do things.

    How about giving us advice on how to remove ourselves from any part of     MoneySupermarket.com

    I hereby withdraw any permission Martin might have implied he gave MoneySupermarket.com to use any of my data. Further more, I do not wish ANY data about me, or any of my posts etc to be held on any computer system held by MoneySupermarket.com or any business it has any commercial interests in.

    A small 1 bed flat from £170k+ in London in a less than desirable area. A single earner or family having a child, would need a salary of around £50k, and a first payment of £35k to get a good mortgage.

    I'm around those figures, and want a place, but not at that cost, especially for what it is. Just means I keep saving.


    All area dependant then 130-170k up north would buy a palace compared to your example.
    Ultimately its impossible to police this divide on price and quality of property within the UK.

    No worries I can wait either way to see who is correct. I just hope you and others aren't mortgaged up to the tts or drowning in debt. :eek:

    What about those who aren't in debt. Yet property is their only investment. A big write off for lost capital.

    What part of "Yup Scotland sure is a large place but the UK is even larger and being a renter with zero debt and modest savings for a deposit I am free to move wherever and whenever to get the house I want when I see fit so don't get so hung up on chunkys Renfrewshire" did you fail to understand? :rotfl: Do you really want to be demeaned and have it explained out to you in tiny easily digestible vocabulary? :T
