You need to delete that clappy smiley thing because what you posted was not worth a clappy smiley:)

Just trying to give you some worthwhile advice, Scummy area's rarely increase in value, generally have gob!!!!!s for neighbours and have a lot of crime (difficult to sell on)..... But if you would rather save a few quid and are prepared for a possibly difficult time, GO FOR IT

Increrease in value does not interest me one bit, a large drop in the value of any house i bought would be more to my liking.

Ive lived in this current craphole all my life, gob5hite neighbours do not cause me any hassle. Ive never been a victim of any crime either so if i move to the town further up the road i cant see me having any problems at all, as it is a better town than the one i currently live in.

It sounds to me like you have experienced life on a rough estate and are presuming i would suffer the same problems that you have suffered. Should have stood up for yourself mate:)

Actually Hamish, thats what mix adjustment is intended to do.
It doesn't mean it is completely succesful.

Its certain that both indexes have seen their fair share of volatility.


And as has been asked before, I truly would love for you to explain how mix adjustment stops the UK average from being skewed by one region or another.

Never been a problem for me, but if you live with ur mum at 31 in a council estate then you might be the 1 who needs to "stand up for yourself" just trying to help, as you seem to be struggling a little so far in life. :beer:

I dont live on a council estate.

My life has been pretty good so far all things considered.

Spent most of my working life working around the country in the building game (good times:D), sat out the boom because i couldnt wrap my mind around paying so much for something that represented no value for money.

Still living the same life but house prices have tanked to a level that could possibly enable me to buy a house outright, or get a 10, 20, 30k mortgage and buy a decent sized 3 bed semi.

Dont know what i will do yet, ill decide when i feel its the right time to buy.

Im leaning more to buying outright and then saving up whilst im living mortgage free and move up the ladder that way, thats if i ever decide to move up the ladder.

I may even rent my future house out for a bit to a mate or summat an then go and do a bit of travelling.

Too many choices really:)

Funny how some property owners seem to dislike the idea of future owners looking to pay as little as possible. I suppose they see it as a threat to the size of their equity (and therefore genitalia) if someone manages to buy a house for a price that is less than a previous valuation.

I notice that too.

I would be over the moon if i bought a house outright for 50k and then 1,2,3 years later it was worth 25k.

I could save an absolute fortune over the years if i wait for the crashes to sell and trade up.

I wouldnt be able to brag about the large size of my mortgage though i suppose.
