Owning your own home

Oh Leeeeeeeeds!

I don't think it's been let, I reckon it's been taken off the market, what sort of person can afford nearly a bag of sand a month but would live there? It doesn't fit to me, surely no one's THAT desperate to live in a shitty corner of N1

I thought that - but looking at the 'properties like this' on rightmove, it doesn't get all that much better if you spend a little more...

It's gone - enjoy your new home!

someone with an entrepreneurial spirit and a short 6 month lease could turn a profit in that place
do a few interviews
a few youtube videos and BAM profit

probably wouldn't even need to live there
OR
do a big brother style film with 6 people locked up in there together
subletting styleee

If people wanted/could live in all those towns, London wouldn't be so sexpensive

we pay for the privilege of seeing hippy ( a national champion ) briefly every 6 months - a year

The shadow I cast does make it to Leeds though #hippyisfat

from the simpsons quotes thread

Bart: "Otto Man, you're living in a dumpster?"
Otto: "Ho, man, I wish. Dumpster-brand trash bins are top-of-the-line. This is just a Trash-Co waste disposal unit."

We had our 2 bed flat valued in Dec, had another a month ago...£25k+ already

#bonkers

Yep. I think our house is increasing by 17K a week at present.
It has to all end in tears. Doesn't it?

Not if the population of London continues to grow as predicted and keeps its position as a world class city and global centre of finance. Actually that sounds a bit crap doesn't it? Sounds over populated and dull

Overpopulated yes but it's certainly not dull.

We're moving to Enfield

*you heard it here first

**taps nose

Oi, I don't need the competition! Having enough trouble finding somewhere without emigrés from other bits of the city turning up.

Can't you look at Wood Green or something? :)

It's gone - enjoy your new home!

It's probably owned by this delightful chap:

Apologies for the DM link.

ahhhh slum landlords
gotta love 'em

-ve interest rates
do we get paid for having a mortgage

That depends on the wording of your mortgage agreement.

When the base rate hit 0.5%, some people had tracker mortgages that tracked below the base rate, giving them a negative interest rate.

If that rate was not floored or collared, the banks would have to pay the borrower for their debt.

Some banks tried to wiggle out of this, and were quite rightly told to get fucked.

Ahhh Nicky VHS

He is a "character".

His one of his propcos was called Tombstone Properties.

He hired a hitman to murder a business rival - allegedly.

He also has created a mausoleum *INSIDE one of his houses in Surrey where he will be buried only to rise again from the undead, presumably with the help from Lucifer himself.

*who AFAIK is not on this forum...

I worked for a company (we were tenants of an office building he owned) and always found it amusing that no one wanted to deal with the rent review....

Which bank would offer such deals...?!

Ahhhh the Co-Op

Thanks Rev. Flowers!

Now that I am in a position to buy, it's fucking impossible to get to see anywhere!!!!!!!

"I was wondering if it would be at all possible to get a 7pm viewing of number twelvty fuck-balls road?"

"We close at 6."

"So is that a no? How late could you accommodate?"

"We close at 6."

"I don't want to see your office."

"We close at 6."

Fuck me, it really isn't a buyers market.

Not quite, but I got a lifetime tracker @ .3 above base 7 years ago....total fluke as this is was the only tracker product with no fees avaliable at the time (the Woolwich / Barclays)

The other option is 'ah we have an open day on Saturday at 11am......can you make that? That'll be just the 40 people viewing then'.
