miss_corerupted

Right i hope you all can help me,
My house is on the market and i want to move 60miles to buy a house with my boyf. i live in a small town with no friends/family around so i'm really quite desperate to go

Want to get another house as i don't want to come of the ladder. this is a house we intend to live in for years and years

so.... does it matter if the house prices crash??? we won't be selling

shall i stay all on my lonesome up in the sticks only seeing my boyf on weekends, with an hour drive to work (this would be half if i move)

WHAT SHALL I DO!!!!!

help me please make a desicion!

It doesn't matter if prices crash (they probably won't, just stagnate in most places with new build tat only showing actual falls) as you will be living there for a long time anyway.

Never make important life decisions on what house prices will or will not do. If you want to live with your other half then sell up and go do it just make sure you have a plan B if you split up and you have contingency funds to cover any likely emergencies.

thank u for your help that's what i was thinking, but just checking with the knowedgable ppl.

I will be ok as the desposit is mine and i'll be paying 65% mortgate (i have seen sol to write this up)

we decided on this as i have house to sell and more wages, so if worst happens i think it works out i own 85% of house, it won't be more money and i cope on my own now

Prices can't stagnate because people can't borrow that much to buy anymore.

House prices sell for what people are prepared to pay, what people can be prepared to pay is mostly linked to what they can borrow, hence the house price crash in todays environment not stagnate.

Prices will come down for years like previous cycles. I doesn't matter if you sell in a falling market because prices are falling in all areas now so you won't really lose out.

According to today's Land Registry figures, prices are officially stagnant - 0% change on last month! :rolleyes:

Don't wish for other people, George, you live your dream. The sisters and I are willing to accept you whenever you are ready. And without wanting to coerce you at all, it's very handy when trying to get EA to remember who you are and herbal tea comes in loads of different flavours now.
