Will post in parts as my pc keeps crashing but I am delighted to report my good news particularly to the doom and gloom merchants and especailly to the mse'er who copied my post when my house sale fell through 4 days from my emigration to Canada to the HPC website and called me a dimwit:rotfl:
how sad is that! So quit hiding whoever gleefully reported my upsetting news and copied my post to HPC and called me a dimwit who knows nowt would love to know who you are.
Will you be copying this post on to HPC to tell them that I have made an £11500 profit on a new build in 11 months? thought not

well it can be done folks

offer November 16th full asking ie £2000 more than the lying october sale buyers
survey November 19th
exchanged today yeeeeeehhhhaaaa!

New build which we purchased Feb this year profit £11500 so shove that where the sun dont shine especially the poster who regulalrly suggests sellers reduce by 50% then 10% every week until you sell
what tosh

I hope this gives some hope to all sellers and a message to those hesitating to buy that yes sales are happening.

Als0 like to mention that we had a another viewing last week just incase and they also wanted it!!!!!!

anyway going to crack open the champagne Canada here we come!!

Huge thanks to the majority of mse'ers who have been most supportive
I found my eutopia tee hee I live in canada yeehaa!

    The "downturn" is overrated on MSE thanks to those few who like to bathe in other people's misfortunes.

    It is the workshy few that can only afford this type of entertainment.

    Congratulations on your sale. We had two sales fall through in 2006, so were apprehensive about coming on the market this year. Some would say it went through due to a booming market, and I have no doubt things are slowing down now. However, a quick search on Rightmove shows 22 similar houses in the same area as our old one, but when you include sold STC it rises to 37. So houses are still selling; people still need to move.

    You could have earned more stacking shelves in tesco:rolleyes:
  • Well done on making a nice profit.

    Does that profit include the money you spent on mortgage, fees, solicitors etc?

    I knew a bloke who reckoned he'd made 10 grand when he sold his house after splitting up with his girfriend. This despite the fact that he spent £1100 a month on the mortgage on a place that he could have rented for £600 so lost £500 a month. That on top of the surveys, solicitors etc and his £10k was more like a loss of £3k

    So he would have been better off renting for a year and saving the difference between his rent paid and what he would have spent ona mortgage in a savings account.

    see below from one f my previous posts

    oohhh mrs I love a spot of banter:D

    You told us in your thread that you have rented for years and you have just devastated some poor seller by going back on your word at the 11th hour.

    city centre new build flats ( I assume you mean flats) make up the tiniest percentage of UK housing stock.

    I have bought and sold ( inlcuding a pub/restaurant)from Hampshire to Cumbria and many places in between including Wales and North London it has been my source of income for the last 11 years.My desire to be mortgage free and retire to canada will hopefully come to fruition in the coming weeks.
    I will have achieved this purely by playing the property market well over the last decade.

    I did own proprty during the last downturn in the early 90's and did lose £3000:rolleyes: silly me, however I have more than made up for it since. So many folk said I was bonkers and family said what if etc but I have never looked back. my father put me off buying a property ( talk of price crashes, interest rises etc)close to Lincoln Cathedral when i was 19, it was up for sale at exactly £10,000 when I left the area 18 years later this same property achieved and asking price of £340000 :o I have never let dad forget it!!!
    so thats where my experience comes from.


    ohh doh is there fees involved then:rotfl:
    yes of course i am talking profit

    Any idiot can make money in a boom.

    You don't need to be a financial genius. It's just about timing and/or luck and you seem to have done it well. Congratulations.

    Hanging on to it and making more money during a downturn is a different ball game. I hope you're up to it.

    best wishes in canada.

    #1. The people that run these "sell your house and rent back" companies are generally lying thieves and are best avoided

    #2. This time next year house prices in general will be lower than they are now

    #3. Cheap houses are a good thing not a bad thing
