I don't understand that post. So assume you've replied to the wrong person.
Are you ever going to disclose your BCR, or is it too embarrassingly painful?0 -
It's 130%. Or it was when I worked it out last year or so. It will be higher by now.
With a £150k debt thrown in - the rent Crashy will have to pay over the next 30 years of being a tenant.0 -
The one place in the whole country that's taking an absolute kicking price wise just happens to be where the king of gloating HPI resides. .
Wow....
3% down in a year is an "absolute kicking" to you? That doesn't even cover the money lost to renting instead...
Priceless to see just how much your expectations of what a crash looks like have changed...
Anyway - back to reality.
According to the Registers of Scotland Aberdeen house prices are up 14% since the same month in 2007 at the last 'national peak' - plus of course anyone that bought has enjoyed record low rates for the best part of a decade - making them somewhere around £100K up on renting since the last crash even if they bought right before it - so thanks for proving my point and all.
That even in the "epicentre" of falling prices in the UK you're still way better off buying than renting. :beer:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Crashy is seriously stuffed - he can never catch up now.
Prices could fall to zero and he'd still be behind versus someone who bought instead of renting for the time he has...“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

That explains his bitterness then. Why would anyone take him serious, he got it so catastrophically wrong but refuses to accept it.0 -
This thread sounds like a coffee morning in an old peoples home. I remember when ..........0

Why don`t you post on the main forum more? I have noticed that posters from here (the place that lives on gossiping about people on a site that won`t let them post) seem to stand out when they come under scrutiny, they just come across as "off" somehow....maybe that is why this little enclave was created, a sort of special corner to let certain people express in their own special way?0 -

Maybe because I don't need help or advice about buying or renting a home :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
how come you feel like you have enough experience to offer buying and selling advice when you've lived in a bedsit for the majority of your life.
Anyways the posters on the main site have started laughing at you about as much as the posters in the Debate section now so I think we really know which one of us is "slightly off". :beer:0 -

Only 3% down in a year but a HUGE amount since peak and still falling, that's without higher interest rates or a UK recession.0
