Of course not. I expected nothing else.
That would require you to take a breath and consider just for a fleeting moment that perhaps there are shades of grey.
It's just easier to "rant" about the "enemy" isn't it? Keeps it nice and simple for you.

Shades of grey ?, buy to let is a bad thing, its a bad thing because it is ran by any t*t who can get a mortgage. I dont see BTL landlords as providing a service, i see them jumping on the bandwagon because our government is too useless to provide its citizens a roof over their head.

This forum hasnt half got its fair share of condescending tw*ts

Sorry cleaver. The forum has "evolved".
It became an arms race quite a while ago. Ever more vociferous arguments have required ever more strident and extreme personalities/views.
It really is now either black or white. No shade of grey is to be considered by either "side" as to do so would be an admission that the other "side" had some valid points which might transfer to other points....

or something like that.

I moved out when I was 18 and flat shared until I bought my own place 2 years ago (age 27)

If joining the Armed Forces counts as moving out then 19, if not, still living at home.

I will never rent, nor rush into buying a house with a silly deposit.

A lot of parents enjoy their sons/daughters at home with them. :A

A valid point, in fact for some I bet it is hard to escape

I just get a bit tired of this houlier than thou view of people against landlords on here.

I think that many properties were built specifically for the BTL market so in a sense you could say that BTL had actually increased the number of properties available.

There are always going to be exeptions to the rule on this topic. I could not imagine living in my 30's with my parents, it is unhealthy to be relying on them (and your sisters will be paying a lot less rent than if they properly rented).

I cant help butthink some of our generation is selfish, unable to support themselves - I really do.

But why is it unhealthy?

I'm sure my sisters would pay a lot more in rent if they moved out. But I fail to see why that's a good thing. They'd pay more, live in a smaller and less nice place, and my parents' house would be empty more of the time.

My sisters and my parents actually enjoy each other's company. There's nothing unhealthy about that at all.

I feel way less grown up than I did at 16 or 18, or 14 come to think of it.

I'd say the ''when you grow up'' thing depends on more than where you live, and can happen or not according to experience and individual.

My Dad says he doesn't know what he wants to do when he grows up.....

Moved out for uni at 18. Properly moved out (and 300 miles away) at 21. Rent with my partner but am hoping to buy in the next few years.

I moved out as soon as i had the money to!
Since 16 i managed to save 20k deposit.. i was 24 when i left the nest... i now have a young family of my own so no chance if moving back.

I dont understand why people cant save money. i worked hard, i didnt go out buying new cars or fancy toys.

i felt silly still living at home at 23, i would hate to be in my late twentys left alone 30's or 40's and still living at home... how can you have a relationship / kids with your parents in the next room?
