    why does it matter?

    all houses cost money.......

    i pay money to landlord, you pay money to a bank in the form of mortgage interest

    it's all the same

    you really are not very clever are you? is that why you do BTL's?

    The latest news of the house price drop has affected you today i see.

    You are getting more and more frantic as the days go by.

    House prices are still crashing around here in case you are wondering.

    Buyers refuse to budge:D

    i think you'll find it's the other way round

    people that rent good houses from good landlords are the winners

    i've lived in a place that's "valued" at 500k and for the last 3 years and paid only 1100 pcm a month in rent (compare that to a mortgage and the costs woudl have been massively higher)
    i've had no insurance or repair costs

    in the time, house prices have fallen like a stone
    and in that time, my investments have rocketed
    i'm about 25% better off by renting, and i have no hassle......

    you must a proper mug, or some scumbag landlord if you think you are winning

    why not pop over to sibley's filthy little BTL house and cuddle up on the sofa with him and massage each others battered egos'....
    2012 is going to decimate people like you.....

    Your very lucky to be renting a £500k house for £1100 a month.
