I hope this country goes into a recesssion worse than the great depression

Maybe then people might stop becoming robbing b****ds and actually sell houses for what they are really worth - 100k (or whatever they were when they paid for them at the time of purchase plus any enhancements)

Sorry but thats how I feel. If you don't like it, I dont care.

    If you don't like the price, keep your money in your pocket.

    "Keep my money in my pocket" - Exactly what I intend to do.

    I think those that sell their houses (most if not all) for way more than what they purchased it for need to stop kidding themselves. Bottom line - you're ripping someone off because that's the way the UK works. Wake up and realise the truth - you're a legal thief.

    It's funny how the thieves do this and feel great about themselves but then cry like biatches when people take the pee when signing on the dole for improper reasons - "boooo hooo my taxes are going to dossers blah blah blah".

    Well get screwed! - you ain't having a penny more than what you paid for from me. Well, I could give you a small % more but don't expect more than a 3-5% profit.

    That's an interesting way of defining price and value. So if you were offering on my Mum's neighbour's house, say, you'd offer the price paid when it was last sold in 2007. But if you were buying the one next to that, you'd only offer the price paid in 1963, when that person happend to buy it. Good luck with the £500 in old money offer...
  • If the house has been purchased since 2001, you can always use websites such as houseprices (add .co.uk) or there are others on GOogle (the info is free, don't pay anywhere).

    Damn skippy.

    I'd pay for the equivalent price of what the "1963" cost of building is worth now. But the reality is, your mamas neighbour is a daylight thief - he/she will ask for muccccch mucccch more because "that's how the game is played in this country"

    Kiss my assizzle.

    The only way im going to buy a gaff is to save my mula, and have someone build it OR purchase a property in a country that doesn't rip me/us off. Until then, ill keep doing what many many others are doing - bumming off the Thief Clan (UK Government).
