PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    Nobody would be thick enough to pay 60% of a house, potentially hundreds of thousands of £ for something that doesn't yet exist.

    Even if this is a windup thread (and I think you underestimate the limits of human stupidity), it's bringing out some useful information about indemnity insurance, new builds, and the proper ways to do things.

    Not always the way. Quite common to buy off plan.
