It was not a good time nerfy, quite a few of our friends handed their keys in.
We didn't we stayed with it and luckily for us it turned out ok.
I remember being at home when it was that so called black Wednesday in 1992 and watching on tv while the interest rates went up to something like 15% and thinking this is it we are going to have to hand in our keys as well.
We lost my MIL the next year and OH inherited just enough to pay off our negative equity so we sold while house prices were low. When we had initially bought the flat prices had been going up £1000 a week which was a lot then.
I sold a 2 bed house beginning of 1988 for £36,000 and by July that year a 1 bed flat cost us £53,000. Which in proportion then was a huge jump. Seems an awful long time ago now. :rotfl:
my parents lost there house then sad time my dad had heart problems and we lost him and within 6 months mum lost the house and after it was sold still owed £75 000 :eek::eek:
lucky we found her a tiny cheap house that needed doing up and she has been there since..Enterprise_1701C wrote: »My two kids are both thinking about mortgages in the relatively near future, don't think either stands a chance nowWe were very lucky, we moved in here 29 years ago, had to remortgage at one stage, but the house is now worth about 6 times what we paid for it and we owe less than £10,000 on it
I don't think we could afford to buy it these days though. We have more than enough space now the kids have fledged, and we have a nice garden and it is in a lovely area.
it must be really hard for youngsters to get there foot on the housing ladder,
luckily here house prices are low so dd1 and her partner brought there first house age 21 for £55.000 3 years ago.
not sure dd2 will find it as easy she is saving for a deposit but the prices are increasing now.0 -
