    Thanks you are entitled to your opinion but I will always disagree. People invest in houses for a reason - you cannot lose.

    I beg to differ....yes you can.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
  • Usually I enjoy reading on this forum, but rarely post. I too disagree with MadnessOfHPC, however theres no need for other posters to get nasty & personal. Its just petty!

    A so called property crash would actually be beneficial to most people.

    If it happens then the biggest losers will be those who jumped on the 'buy to let' bandwagon thinking that they could make easy money.

    What do you mean by 'keep dreaming'?

    I assume you are a 'buy to letter'

    Looking at your other posts I have no point to make with someone with such a vested interest in the property market.

    Thanks but everyone has a vested interest in the property market, why would they all be buying and selling? Get a grip. And I'm sorry if my point of view doesn't match yours. Now can you be so gracious?

    I have no vested interest in the property market.

    I wish you good luck in your investment in property, but as with any investment such as in shares, gold etc it is a gamble.

    Still want to know as to why the OP was renting from mum and mum didn't inform her her garden was going to be cut in half.

    my bolding - *private sector" housing officer, surely?:)

    Yeah of course but in this area for some reason their title is public housing officer, meaning they deal with private tenancies not local authority housing.

    when I first started in this job it confused me no end, now I forget everywhere else has a sensible local authority.
