    The lack of denial is telling....

    That's because every word I typed is true. It's all on record within these forums.

    I actually sympathise with him because he works in a factory plucking chickens for min wage. So he'll never buy.

    But the vitriolic hatred that he spews on this forum is worthy of a slap down every now and again.

    Or someone with a clue. Get a grip and stop giving terrible advice you silly person.

    Do yourself a favour andspend some time on right move learning a thing or two about the reality of house buying and selling. You may even find a place you like and decide to do something sensible with your money for a change


    You sound irritated, just bought it is then.....:rotfl:

  • Why would he be my hero, Because he owns houses?

    You've seriously lost it Crashy.

    I own 1 property, it is my family home, It just happens to be increasing in value and saving me £££'s a month in rent. (Rent is about £250 more than my mortgage)

    I'm truly sorry that your life hasn't gone the way you planned, but you really should learn to channel all yout rage and emotion into something positive.

    I don't think trolling internet forums can be making you happy. :(

    Anyway i'm off, have a good evening :beer:
  • My advice, spend a lot of time choosing what you want and where.

    Then when you are certain you have found the house you want, and you can afford it, and you think it is worth it - just buy it. Pay the asking price. I have done this three times.

    Chances are you'll benefit from the same forces when selling the house on.
