Prices are now way higher than 2008....

*Is Crashy accusing all homeowners on this thread of buying today?!?!?

You are just dying for me to start responding to your posts again aren`t you Mr Acorn?

Why would you want it back? You don`t eat a jar of pasta sauce and go back round to Asda and ask for a refund do you? The rent is a cost, it is part of living, you get a roof, a bed, a shower, a toilet, cooking facilities, hopefully a nice environment, and a place to live, that is what you pay the money for. That would be like the VI`s on this thread asking the banker for their interest back.

That is my view as well. The (sob) was tongue in cheek and a little pre-emptive to address some of the tired cliches which are trotted out toward renting :-)

My desperation is equal to your desperate attempts to save for a deposit..... :rotfl:

Don`t know and don`t really care. I will bet it increases as the next property price crash takes shape though.

Yes, I see what you did there. With my rental costs I am almost hysterical with grief most days :money:

It's not as simple as that though is it. If I did not own I would now be paying out £1300 a month in rent in fact I wouldn't because I couldn't afford it so would be paying out £800 for somewhere not particular suitable.

£81600 spent to share a toilet in some LL's HMO.....

But if you buy sooner of later you pay no "rent". Would you pop down to Waitrose and pay for a jar of pasta if you could just grab a free one off the shelf? I know what Id rather do.

If people are ramping can you explain how it works when there are not many people reading the threads and half of those are rampers and the other half are HPC's.
