Great news, I'm locked into my mortgage deal until 31/1/19 so hopefully I'll be able to get another great fixed rate before it goes up.0

They're just regular people, wanting to buy a house. You can read as much as you like into it, but like I say, you're out of touch.
No, I know exactly how they're feeling. They think the best thing to happen is for circumstances to change in their favour. I know this because that's how I and most people would think.
It works like this; I assess the 'goodness' of something by the effect it has on me and my family first then the effect on the people in my monkey sphere. Only then do I consider the overall effect on others and take a wider view.
Remarkably I remain the only person to have ever admitted to considering self interest during an Internet debate.0 -
I would agree with that most of the base of hpc are normal people the problem is they have created a den of confirmation bias and sillyness.
If they were honest to themselves they would find out that hpc is mostly a gang of men who want to buy the above average house on a below average wage and only by themselves.
As such you get gems like people in Telford a very cheap area arguing that prices are unaffordable because you know they were cheaper 20 years ago!
Good luck to all of them. I honestly fell sorry for most of them.
Sorry, I meant my friends and acquaintances are just regular people. I doubt any of them frequent any internet forums, and would never have heard of HPC. But yes, agree broadly with the sentiment above.0 -
OMG...
Just seen on the news.
Interest rates are probably staying at this level until 2021 and may even.....FALL....:beer::j
Think that will see me over the finishing line.
TBH..Never dreamed it would stay low like this. What a bonus.
excellent though I can't forget the old parents saying 'low interest rates held "heard it all before"
