I could spend the same amout of money and get a smaller house that needs loads doing to it - why would I? I could still end up with negative equity with an old house!

You don't HAVE to buy any house.

Free will is a useful thing.

Resist the urge to become a sheeple.

Resist. RESIST!

Your right free will is a useful thing and using my free will I want to buy a house - your comments aren't helpful at all.

My comments are helpful. You just don't see what I am saying.

Ask yourself... why do you want to buy something that you KNOW will be AT LEAST 10% cheaper by the end of the year? The government have admitted that they expect 10% drops this year AT LEAST!


For a £200,000 house that's £20,000!!!!!!!!!!!! You can wait 7 months and save £20,000.... why are you in such a rush to buy a house? £20,000 / 7 months is nearly £3000 a month! I'm trying to save you £3000 a month... isn't that what MSE is about?

The most common reason people buy something is that all their friends are buying it... it's refered to as the Sheeple mentality... a word play on Sheep/People. Just because you're friends have taken on a huge debt doesn't mean you have to!

I agree Sarah, people bleat on about now is not the time to move etc without knowing your circumstances but do not actually offer any useful advice.

I'm interested to read anyones experiences about buying a new build home, I've just been on the Bloor site and they have a development near me.

Boring...

Don't be so quick to judge, just because you might need to take on huge debt to buy a home that does not mean the same applys to everyone else.

Even if she is buying cash, I''m still trying to save her £3000 a month.

That's THREE THOUSAND POUNDS.

It doesn't matter what her circumstances are, there are NO CIRCUMSTANCES where she will be better off losing £3000 a month. None whatsoever.

Thanks Treadmill - there are lots of people like us who are thinking of buying a new build.

I never actually said I was buying now - I said i'd been looking and am interested in other peoples findings. I could wait 7 months and then they shoot back up - it could go either way. It's a gamble on both sides. So I take your point but advice is what we are here for you to insist you are right.

i'm in no rush to move - i've spent the past 2 years watching prices and am now in a good position where I would like to make a decision - again thats what i'm here for. I'm not saying your wrong and i'm right - it's a discussion.

You've made your point that you don't think anyone should buy new builds but i'm interested in hearing other peoples opinions and advice so please don't comment anymore. Capitalisation is not necessary either - please don't insult people in that way.

If there are any other people with experience of newbuilds - good or bad. Made money or lost money (negative equity) - then i'd like to hear your experiences

sarah500

oh and another thing - i'm not buying because all my friends are - most of them bought years ago. I've spent the past 3 years studying so haven't had the time to look! I wanted to wait till i'm qualified before committing myself.

Good stuff, my wife has just finished studying and will be starting work soon, the last four years have been hard but now we get the payoff :-)
