Anybody watching tonight's?

Young couple, in Scotland, got a kid ... and STILL they can afford to spend nearly £600k on a flat.

*rolls eyes*

I wish I knew where they get the money from. At their age I still hadn't moved into my first caravan.

I think she actually said that they've not got jobs yet. I didn't quite catch it but I'm sure she said to her partner 'Are we mad? You're not working and I've not got a job yet'.

I wonder if the mortgage product they secured then would still be an option today...

I missed that bit ... what oddballs. How on earth do they manage that then.

I'll have to listen now online to check.

Liar loans. Tis famous with the bulls. Hence a 0.1 fall in the market makes them see red. It's only understandable for the over-leveraged to feel. :rotfl:

Oh please do. I was watching it on the hard drive but when Mr. P rang I told him I've been working late to make him feel better about working late so I was rushing though LLL as I didn't want to get caught having a solo property !!!!!! fest when he gets in and its so unlike me to write such badly punctuated prose....

It was quite near the end when they went round for a second viewing just before they put the offer in...

Presumably, in asking for offers over XX, the XX has dropped from the highs of 2007. At least it would be nice to think they had.

You can tell when the market is crashing in Scotland because prices change from offers over to fixed price as they are now. Use property bee and check the desperate sellers out.

Chop, Chop, PN, Mr. P will be home soon...

I've noticed lately too that its becoming more and more common for them to comment that 'I just want all our friends to come round to go wow'. Yeah you may think that - but as if you 'd SAY it. On national television. With your 'friends' watching....

It is one of the sound bytes, right before the initial titles come up ... I then tried to watch the whole thing to hear it all/more, but my PC fan was going into orbit (it always does when I try to watch things online), so I got fed up with the noise and stopped when they left that house as I assumed it was only a sound byte... didn't realise it was at the end.

I guess they're the sort that have jobs that are just highly paid and in sectors where there's a shortage of people ... who knows.

Nutters.... £600k is about double my lifetime's entire income, so it's hard to comprehend so much.

NEH

It does amaze me how many first time buyers have over £400,000 that would be a dream amount to us to spend on a house and one we will never achieve....

I liked the couple who were going to have a camel farm - posh but totally mad and they reminded me of that series with the mad aristos, the F********** Fawltys or whatever!

But lets be honest, anyone who has £600k to spend and yet doesnt have the nous to sort out a house for themselves are on their for their 15 minutes of fame, so they are bound to all be awful arent they.
