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.0
