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.

    I have been advised that their dividends are sustainable even with declining house prices. I'm not so sure about that, but I took the risk anyway and may cash in anytime now.

    I also bought £100k of Taylor Wimpey shares this year. My profit on those is far more modest, although I'm still about £15k up, including dividends, since I bought.

    You're comparing different things.

    Many people have almost £0 and no roof over their head, buying a house on a mortgage.

    You must've had a roof over your head -AND- £100k cash just kicking around.

    You're one of those "Let them eat cake" sorts.

    Looks more comfortable than the boat actually....
