So The Bulls Keep Bleating On About FTB's

In my opinion any FTB that buys just now with say a 10% deposit is crazy, WHEN their lovely new home drops anothat 20% they have LOST their cash, it is never coming back

They haven't really lost anything. They have a home to live in and a fair few years of mortgage repayments ahead of them. If the value of their property bothers them, they they can be fairly sure that once their mortgage ends, the value of their home will be more than they paid for it. If I were a potential FTBer, it wouldn't be so much the future value of my property that I'd be concerned about, it would be the my future income and level of mortgage payments.

You mean you don't want to buy a home and then see it go up in price ?
What's wrong with you man ?
Well I do believe houses are homes and not investments, I would also like to think that one day my children (if that plan works out) might be able to have homes too.Have my first business premises (+4th business) 01/11/2017

Must have too much money if he can afford to buy a house and doesn't care if it looses value,,been listening to too much wrong advice,,,buyers market just now,,,was that not said 6 months ago and now values have dropped so is his Investment, that is correct, a HOUSE IS AN INVESTMENT.
Hamish, if buying houses is a certainty of not loosing, put your money where your mouth is and buy a street0 -

This is the thing with Hamish. Spends forever telling the rest of us how good an investment housing is....yet says he has enough (2) himself.
Classic pyramid selling. Do all they can to tell you how great it is...but won't buy into it themselves.0 -

I have 2 houses in UK and an apartment in Tenerife,,no debt on them,,,,,would I buy another House just now,,,no chance. I used to buy and sell property, IMPOSSIBLE to make money now from that. MSE need to have a big look at themselves for allowing posts telling people to buy property, as buyers WILL LOOSE MONEY, fact0 -

Yes of course you do....
Listen old boy, when you pop back over to hpc, please ask them to send a better class of bear next time.
Do you actually expect anyone to take you seriously when you have the grammar and spelling abilities of a 12 year old?
Really?

Gosh Graham, is that why you didn't sell the fraction of a house you own, and then buy back a bigger fraction after the crash you're so sure is coming?
Shame on you.
Oh, and I don't see you placing bets on house prices falling.... Happy to play the stock market, but not convinced enough about falling prices to even chuck a cheeky grand on the spread bet index.
