Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Most of us on here can't afford a house and if you look at our signatures currently owe on average more than £500 to littlewoods.
Now I am really confused?
What has littlewoods got to do with anything or have I missed the point?
And do the majority of posters on here not own property? Just asking, not flaming.We all evolve - get on with it0 -

I would invest the £1m and rent a nice place.
If you are used to living in a million pound house, I am not sure you are going to be that happy in a 1 bed flat!
Buy again in 2 years when prices were lower.0 -
If you're retiring, you could always move to a cheaper area.

I will be renting for a short while anyway as my house/plot is going to auction.
I do really like parts of Yorkshire its as beautiful as the lakes and often drive out for the day to places like Harrogate and Ilkley.0 -
That thing's a real McMansion!
I take it that area isn't a Northern Hell Hole then. That's a pretty toppy price.0 -
McMansion, now that's funny.
I particularly like the single genuine stone (fibreglass) classic column, probably complete with genuine stone effect stud partition walls, but hey, whatever floats your boat. It's not my cup of tea though.0
