Well, you see what happened was that I watched events as they unfolded, commented on how they unfolded, and sat back in the knowledge that the record reflected my observations. Simples.heathcote123 wrote: »

Whoop. I thought that there would be a correction in house prices as well. Do I get a gold star?
If you can prove this to be the case, you shall indeed get a gold star young man.
If you're delaying purchase because you expect to save a few quid on the price by doing so, you're living out the 'timing game'.
Because naturally that would be the only reason why anyone anywhere might decide they'd rather rent than buy for the time being right?
You it appears rob.
Who's bitter, really? Are you projecting again?
Your posts seem to becoming more angry and illogical.
That would be a group of posters who seem quite obsessed by rents and regularly post on the same.
What team?
Obviously I didn't mean an actual "team" with uniforms and membership cards any everything.
My contribution to this thread has simply been to suggest that paying increasing amounts of rent over the last 3 years is not necessarily a reason for a grand hurrah when people who chose to purchase have been making out like bandits on cheap mortgage rates.
Although strangely the entire premise of this thread is that rents have in fact not changed over the last 3 years, and that in the case of myself, they haven't changed at all since 2009.:)
So your contribution appears to be entierly void of any accuracy. Sorry about that.
Eugh, keyboard spasm.
I really don't like to think about what that is, but you may need a new keyboard.0 -
Gosh, you mean that 0.5% base rates have resulting in people with mortgages saving a few quid. This is massive!
Don't underestimate the effect of this, that few extra quid equates to just under 30k (gross) every year to me, maybe I'm not as rich as you, but >29k for doing nothing extra might not be 'massive' to you, but to me it certainly is significant (given that it looks like it might be a total period of 4-5 years, or perhaps even longer?). Additionally this isn't propping me up me it's actually all additional profit, I'm sure many others are in the same position.Chuck Norris can kill two stones with one birdThe only time Chuck Norris was wrong was when he thought he had made a mistakeChuck Norris puts the "laughter" in "manslaughter".I've started running again, after several injuries had forced me to stop0 -

Yet actually the bulk of my edit also appears in your post at 11.30am ish.
Which was of course what I was refering to.
You're right though, I did correct a dropped couple of words later on.
But do please pursue this fascinating and critical side debate to conclusion.
I'm sure it is in no way a diversionary tactic as previously stated.0 -

No. Its not you. You really have turned what could have just been a minor embarassement for you into an ongoing epic of diffusion and smokescreening.
