    Please don't take what the asterisks might mean the wrong way. They were typed with a heavy sprinkling of humour. I hope that was clear (especially to Hamish).
    Yeah I could see that Prof, and I am sure our dear friend Hamish has s good sense of humour too...;)

    This means I will make a 60k profit. Now what to spend it on? Hang on where will I live.
    I'm retiring at 55. You can but dream.

    Until a Halifax competitor offers them...

    You said it could be by 2013. I have given you one major lender who said 100% mortgages are gone. Can you give me a major lender who said they will be back in the next 18 months? You must have read about one name already preparing to offer 100% otherwise you wouldn't have said what you did. Or is it the usual wishful thinking?

    Starting to border on boom conditions again. With rents already rising fast, we're in for helluva house price ride over the next few years once the mortgage taps open and 95-100% mortgages return. I hear the industry is keen on 35-40 year mortgages to 'help' new future buyers.

    Proof that this will happen? Or maybe you think if you keep saying it often enough it will happen?

    Indeed. Hamish is a well know easy going character.

    Which is why he's compelled to spam internet forums with vitriolic rants whilst bigging himself up at every avaliably opportunity.

    Like a car crash, its hard to look away.

    How very modest of you. I think anyone who knows you on either of the three sites will be able to confirm that there is no more vitriolic, offensive or odious poster than your good self (although to quote from DervProf above "Please don't take the comments the wrong way. They were typed with a heavy sprinkling of reality. I hope that was clear (especially to Gneer)".

    Perhaps downsize and keep the same size of mortgage or release some equity.

    Great news.

    More young people will opt out of life. What a lovely society we have become.

    Eating our young.

    I'm very fond of the young.

    But I couldn't possibly eat a whole one......:rotfl:
