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
Just goes to show there are still nutters about.
Hopefully you'll not log on to mse in canada cause you bore the "PANTS" off me...0 -

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.

Once I asked how old he was...I thought he could be a sixth former, only because I have smart !!!! son of 20 and remember him and his mates at that age..there were phrases / thoughts that seemed to come from an 18 yr old.
But I thought he was fat.....;) ...if I had had access to the internet at age 16 /17...would I have created diff personas etc??? naa....too busy being out and about in real life.
PS; Am TOTALLY stressed out with all these banking crisis threads....am feeling VERY doooom + glooom:( all this stuff is really mucking up our life plans........0 -

Firstly, what makes you think that the 'Squatnow' who posts to that site is the 'Squatnow' who posts here?
Secondly, who cares what someone else does outside of this forum? You seem to have developed a bit of an obsession though by the looks of things.
Thirdly, and more importantly, what you are doing looks extremely like an attempt to bully another forum poster whose views differ from your own. Trawling around the internet for 'dirt' to throw at someone on a forum is paranoid, stalker-ish behaviour.
EDIT: It was 'running horse' who posted alleged personal data, not 'worrypants'--
Every pound less borrowed (to buy a house) is more than two pounds less to repay and more than three pounds less to earn, over the course of a typical mortgage.0 -

Apologies for cutting and pasting from another thread... I didn't realise that this news was worthy of thread of it's own but here goes -
"For every winner, there is a loser. The loser is the person that has bought your property. Average prices for the YoY position will be 7% by end of this year so obviously if you bought in Jan 07 and sold in Jan 08 on average you would make 7%.
The person that has bought your property by Jan 08 at current averages will be down 2.2%."Keep the right company because life's a limited business.0
