Owning your own home

Wanna see expensive? I viewed this place... 2 bed, by Mile End... 900k.

Nah.

yeah but it's north of the river.

As i've said on here before i'm not denying brexit as a small factor but a lot of people are going to be in for a serious shock over the next few years. We're at the end of a major economic cycle. BAD times ahead for many. Lets all step back and look at this for a minute... Is a two bed flat in E3 really work over half a mil? No its not and if we hadn't had historically cheap monies thown to us over he last 8 years we wouldn't be in this situation. I'm guessing this would have been £200k cheaper 6 years ago and that wasn't long ago. I wish my wage saw those increases over the last 6 years.
You've still got a chance as a lot of first time buyers don't have a clue and probably weren't affected by the last downturn. All I know is I feel bad for highly leveraged people right now as they really don't know whats coming. (I might be totally wrong and the government/Carney might drag this along for another 10 years)

I would not be surprised if we see further drops, and I am very glad I bought when I did (6+ years ago) and have never stretched myself too much mortgage payment wise (as many recommend doing). I dont plan on stretching myself on the next purchase either, partly due to the reasons you mention. Next few years will be interesting for sure, but how about leaving out the direct references to my place yeah?

To be fair, you're the one that keeps popping up and talking about the price of it.

Love starting statements with "to be fair".
Essentially/basically/literally means the next words will be a full on kurt angle ddt/headshot.

Maybe with some Ric Flair "wooo" at the end.

Mumsnet >>>>>

To be fair, I don't, and pretty sure I avoided specifically mentioning price a few times simple because its not British to talk about money in public, despite this being a thread where its relevant.

Basically, If you have nothing constructive to add, jog on, or find someone else to harass.

I'm not harrassing you. I'm wondering why you keep saying "don't mention the price" and then mention the price.
But you've explained it now.

You don't need to mention the price though - i've not done it myself but selling a house is a pretty simple concept right - you get viewings, and if people like the house and consider the price reasonable they make you an offer. If you've had lots of viewings and no offers then either no-one likes your house or it's too expensive.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucckkkk this place.

Honestly, what's the point? What are you trying to achieve? Used to think this was a place for interesting and respectful discussion, obviously I was wrong.

We are talking about houses, of course prices are going to be mentioned, near EVERYBODY in this thread has mentioned what they are spending/selling.

I'm off to ride my bike, have fun guys.

Can you stop whining at me by pm please?

I'm off to ride my bike, have fun guys.

I'll just fuck off, as per your PM.

@Chalfie lol you too?

Vintage flounce.

Yes please do.
I actually had a nice civil chat with Chalfie via PM where he apologised and said he can be a bit "testy" or something, we continued to chat about areas to move too, then he decided to jump back on the prick train with you. Have fun. Toot fucking toot.

VERY tempting to go full flounce.

are you having 2nd thoughts about plumstead?

Prick train?
Brilliant.
First the damo train. Now the prick train.

lol

Used to think this was a place for interesting and respectful discussion, obviously I was wrong.

Has anyone ever thought this place enabled this? Srs question.

Have you considered interesting and respectful discussion training?

Has anyone? (I haven't, I'm channelling my inner Dunning-Kruger.)

Fuck off

Yeah I totally did. I've talked to, and met IRL, some really nice and interesting people from here. I've also had folks help out worth various things and tried to reciprocate. I usually think this forum is mint. This thread, currently, less so.

Hasn't @Sam_w got a castle to talk about?

I thought you were:
a) flouncing
b) riding your bike

If b, how can you type and ride safely? Or are you using Siri?
