That's the opinion that me and GF take. Sure, if they go up, great - but it'll only matter if we sell, and not a jot until then. Sure, if they go down, bad - but only when we sell. Plus, after a few years of paying a mortgage they'd have to come down a long way to plunge you into negative equity. But, basically, it's renting a flat with payments that diminish over 25 years and then stop. That's better than renting at inflation-adjusted prices ad infinitum. Clearly.
