    Well, I've just completed the sale of my house for £130000. bought in 2003 for £31000. Sale has taken less than 2 months from start to finish. We have done loads of work on it, but also lived here very happily. Moving overseas now so will enjoy spending my money in the sun!!!!

    So my Mum & Dad bought their house for £1500 should be able to buy it now on their pensions?
    Oh nelly you do make me laugh;)
    If you have to resort to tactics like that sonshine your showing your arguments weakness big time

    You know what I mean and that statement you just made means you allso know Im correct

    What sort of thick !!!!!! would say its a good idea that fundamental things like housing were out out reach of people?

    Do you say the same when tesco put your food bill up?

    or when British gas charge you 15% more for the heating

    do you do a little dance when your councill tax rises?

    I'll tell you what mate (and your beating off some heavy weight competition) but you are just about the most stupid person on MSE

    no it wasnt it was utter shight!

    They spouting on about have a loverly life..... well how can people have a life when they spend 90 odd percent of their money on a mortgage?

    They cant afford to see the wonders of this planet or go and do fun stuff,because greedy self centred people have talked up the market

    I'll bet 10 grand that poster has a house allready and pay nearly nowt mortgage

    Me personally I am buying a house we make great money Im not being selfish I care about those that for many reasons cant buy a half decent house just to live in

    Its allright for those to spout off when they allready comfortable

    Some of us arnt quite so selfish and conceited

    I have to disagree, it seems that all the snide, sarcastic vitriol is only coming from one side, and thats not the people that own a home.

    Well, I can assure you you wont see any from me (not that that is an admission from me that I think their will be a crash) because I make my own decisions and I stand by them. All I ask is the bitterness and frustration is not directed at those are happy to own a home, because I don't see any anger being directed to those that aspire to home ownership.

    Calling people a "selfish scumbag" for wanting to better themselves and provide a comftable life for their family is not exactly doing much to ease tensions either.

    If you are that worried about everyone else, instead of buying a home for yourself, why don't you donate your deposit money to Shelter. They are a very good charity and help people with all sorts of housing issues.

    No? Didn't think so.
