Given your criteria for when you will buy a house, you never will.

Sorry to hear you think houses are overpriced. Unfortunately, because you are not the only potential buyer in the UK, houses will continue to sell at prices you consider inflated.

At the risk of repeating myself from another similar rant thread, if you were selling a house and moving to a cheaper one, would you deliberately sell your house at less than you could get for it due to your 'principles'? I think not.

We live in a market driven economy, and as such, the market decides how much a house (or any other commodity) is worth.

You my friend are what we call in layman's terms a !!!!!!.

By the way we rent before you call me a thief too.

The symbol @ is pronounced "at" so there's no need for the extra T.

You're not a thief, you're just a tit whose being robbed by a thief :rotfl:

Nothing like kick-starting a day with some good laughs.

Thank you for your comments but i'd rather you just say "We live in an economy that gives us no alternative but to rip people off and become very thief-like" as opposed to a sugar coated answer that gives us a better-sense of justification.

Regardless, this is the way of the UK and your answer is the 2nd best on the thread.

Thanks :beer:

The reality is you know and cross much worse than me on a daily basis. You can start by looking in the mirror penguin.

Hahaha don't you just love it. Not me, my brother (read past that comment).

Wish there were more council houses up for the grabs. That way I can buy, enhance and rent it back to the low-lifes for a rip off £600 per month.

Hurts doesnt it? Well I do not condone nor do this.

There are people that do this, and I bet it makes your blood boil right? Well you're no different buddy!! Are you in ToysRus yet?

I won't call you thick, but I think you have an inability to see a bigger picture.

You sell stuff every now and again, right? Whether that's something small on eBay, a car, a CD or record to a second hand place when you were a kid, your time to a business? Surely you have?

So what do you sell these things for? The highest rate you can get via what someone is willing to pay or do you work out the intrinsic value of the item and then sell it for this? For example, you find a signed England shirt in your loft which has all the signatures of the 1966 cup winning team on it. Because of our culture it's worth £10,000, but the actual shirt is worth £30. What do you sell it for? Do you act like a 'theif' and sell it for £10,000 which is the market value or do you 'do the right thing' and sell it for £30?

Where I might agree with you is that previous and current governments should have put more measures in place to stop this happening. In a previous thread you were talking about buying your Mum and Dad's council house which is worth £250k. This is an appalling thing that is allowed to happen which pushes up houses prices, but then I sure you know this.
