Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics.

    Oh right, and the tories would have done different. Don't be so naive.

    I would be so judgemental cycnical to assume what anybody would do in a certain situation. Ultimately its the Government of the day that makes the decisions rightly or wrongly. The Treasury did know , and the FSA. So did the Chancellor. ;)

    I think I am rich because I have a house.

    The reason has nothing to do with equity.

    Why do people always assume that the only wealth that a house creates is equity?!?!?

    I am better off owning a house because I pay less for this house than it would cost me to rent it. I can save that money. Therefore I am better off than I would be renting. In fact I pay half of what it would cost to rent it if you only consider interest payments and not the repayment part of the mortgage.

    The best bit is that I am on the SVR which means I can pay down the my mortgage in large instalments, therefore making the monthly payments even lower for the future. In fact at some point I will be paying so little for my mortgage I will be able to pay it with the interest on my pretty average savings. Bought in 2007 for £105K. We are now down to £74K after only 2 years. Saving to pay off another BIG lump sum and reducing our monthly payments even further.

    Meanwhile the doom and gloom brigade on here will still be waiting for the bottom...

    P.S. If I had lost my job I might not be so smug but then I suppose that goes without saying...


    Excellent post!!!

    Do you not recall wading into a recent post (now deleted) where gypsies were described as scum, and you supported the OP?

    Sometimes the truth hurts

    As for being a loser ... well that's a little rich coming from you!

    Only 8% of poll respondents now feel that house prices will not rise.

    Great news !

    Can I borrow your book on self-hypnosis? I need to convince myself of a few things that I know aren't really true and i'm having trouble finding a way to do it. You seem to have nailed.
    I'll have some cheese please, bob.

    Now deleted - how convenient - you claim I said something yet have no proof.

    Anyone who remembers the thread will know full well I said no such thing.

    If you weren't such a complete idiot, you'd realise that the BNP would no more have me as a member than I would choose to be one.

    Don't think they like ethnic minorities very much. :rolleyes:

    What those who read that thread will remember is that I laughed at YOU, you complete idiot - that you had the temerity to accuse others of racism when you yourself were guilty of treating others, such as tenants, as less than human.

    You called me a "loser" a few posts up - thus making my point for me.

    I fail to see how someone who views tenants as "losers" can imagine they can claim the moral high ground on anything!

    YOU ARE A LIAR, nollag, AND A FOOL TO BOOT.

    Either put up or shut up - if you have any proof for your idiotic claims, then please demonstrate them. If not, then be a man and apologise now.

    Way to go carolt!!! That last bit of venom deserves a thanks for me, just for the sheer amusement value

    Here is the link to the deleted thread where you supported comments made by others supporting the BNP and calling travellers scum:

    How I love to go bear baiting, and you are the easiest of the lot to bait.


    How are you enjoying watching the property market pull away from you once again. I meant to ask you? Who's the fool now?

    Sounds like it’s time for you to take your medication, both for memory loss and for anger management. Maybe that nice man, Nick Griffin, could help you and you can discuss travellers rights at the same time.

    Thing is nollag that Hamish spouts this type of bull stuff, and doesn't resort to being nasty. There's a kind of line that most of us don't cross in here, even when hacked off. It's pointless and nasty, and means any message you are trying to get across gets lost by the wayside.

    So in a couple of posts you lose all credibility.

    Oooh, you quoted an invalid thread. So that's your definition of "proof", is it?

    Time for an apology. Now.
