    I'm sorry, did I mistakenly give you the impression I'm vaguely concerned what you think? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Good now we've got that misunderstanding out the way..

    ..You did read what I wrote didn't you (I'm assuming you can and your carer isn't writing on your behalf) - falling prices means its cheaper to trade up. Is it really that difficult to grasp?


    You must be one very unhappy chap:(. Your bitterness and rudeness seeps through your posts..........but I digress.

    Had to jump in on this one as your point about " falling prices means its cheaper to trade up. " is actually a valid one.

    Except for the fact you and the likes have been praying and predicting they'll drop for YEARS - and in the sort of areas YOU'D like to live in - but they're not!!:p

    So poinless point eh?:D

    Another thing one should point out to you, as the FACT seems to have escaped you :o is that if everyone else's property fell - then so would yours darling! Which means YOU would get LESS for yours too - making these wonderful, glorious solidly built properties with all their lovely features (in a wonderful area too) still miles beyond YOUR reach!

    But as it is - GOOD properties in GOOD areas are holding their prices. So don't keep fretting about something that ain't gonna happen!:)

    NEVER buy a new build. Theyre for mugs:eek:

    Not always. I've bought new houses three times in the past and they all went up considerably in price as soon as the development was finished and people who wanted to live there had to buy 'second-hand'. Of course, its important to buy in a desirable development and now probably isn't the right time to buy anywhere.

    Dependin and all that but mortgages are CHEAPER than rents these days. So if you've coughed up £30k on just rent that really is money down the drain. You coul be buying towards something that you'll one day own for that money you've wasted on rent.

    Buying is a long term commitment in a potentially dangerous market (indeed, I believe it will inevitably crash at some point). Buying could be the bigger waste.

    The Wirral is a very inexpensive part of the country so of course it's cheap to buy property there.
    The wirral boasts some of the most expensive housing in the northwest.
    go on have a look instead of writing blind..

    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    It was Mr Ree who said £30,000 in rent and I corrected him saying £12,000. I wouldn't believe what Mr Ree says as he is one of the multiple accounts of Sibley an established liar.

    As for money down the drain I say you are clearly wrong. £12,000 to live 3 years in Chelsea whilst saving twice that into my housing account.

    Tell me how I can get a mortgage with repayments in SW10 at about £350-375 a month?

    Also I have the flexibility to buy when I want, very useful in a falling market. You talk of renting as money down the drain, I ask you in return what is buying an over inflated property, seeing it drop in value and still paying a mortgage for all the equity you lost. That is money down the drain.

    I haven't even mentioned reduced journey times by renting and quality of life.

    I will buy when I want too but not when prices are still artificially high and falling each month.

    WHAT????? You only pay just over £300 a month to live in Chelsea????!!!!!!!

    LIAR! You couldn't rent a broom cupboard for that in Chelsea!
  • Geoffky


    That's a different place. You're talking about Wirral in Cheshire and the other poster was talking about THE WIRRAL in Wallesey, Cheshire.

    They're two different places.:o

    No I think you'll find they are both classed as Wirral Merseyside, not Cheshire, I live there so I think I have authority on the subject. :rotfl:

    The Wirral, Wallasey (4 pages) :

    The Wirral WALLASEY side is where the cheap properties are, while the the Wirral (which I believe is to to the south of the peninsula is the better part.
