Same old whinge over savings rates,seems some think they are deemed a massive return.
Probably an STR who had planned to pay the rent with interest on the proceeds whilst awaiting that 70% crash (only surmising though
). 'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

You're lovely, aren't you? Probably heavily indebted mortgagee terrified that interest rates will rise and you will no longer be able to pay your mortgage on your negative equity luxury newbuild. When I know absolutely nothing about a person, I can spout lazy vitriol instead of reasoned argument too.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Orpheo's income is paying his rent nicely.
How, in the name of reason, do borrowers subsidise anything except their masters? Or have you just descended into baiting?Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

Mortqage = £300 approx, unfortunately mortgage rate BR+ .95%, I should really extend my mortgage but I can't be bothered, anyway I would prefer to leave those funds for the people who need it. Thanks for your concern anyway
It seems my analysis is better then yours.'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.

It wasn't concern, it was lazy vitriol; you need to improve your reading comprehension. I don't wish difficulty upon you, I was merely pointing out that you were speculating on my personal finances. If your mortgage is manageable for you then I congratulate you. I will thank you, however, for providing personal anecdotal evidence in support of the arguments that I have been making in this thread.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

It must be hard to swallow about your're savings loss,for me i'm £400 per month better off,or should that be overpaying.

To be fair I did qualify it withonly surmising though'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is.
