I have a one bedroom maisonette ..... valued around £135,000.
I've had to start dating the girl next door, with the plan to seduce her into selling her place too. Only then will I get a house. I love her really. |

Re: how do people afford to buy houses nowadays?
Quote:
In the end I worked out that I would be paying slightly less in mortgage repayments than rent on a monthly basis, and at least the house is yours, so to speak. I admit, I did struggle with all the fees etc associated with buying a place but now I believe some of the fees are waved for first time owners. Some mortgage places even pay solicitor fees too. |

Simply you need a good mortgage advisor, in order to borrow a lot of money.

Largely speaking how a property market performs is a general reflection of the economy of a country at any given time. If a crash did happen there would be many more factors for people to be worried about than just the price of property. Our great Grandparents would turn in their graves at the money that we buy a home for today but that has always been the case from generation to generation. |

I bought mine for 45K 5 years ago, just had it valued ( as we are building an extension on it ) and they have valued it at 95 K. I have done bugger all to it ( in fact it needs work doing to it ) - The whole thing is a joke.
Some parents i know are re-mortgaging their house to give there kids the deposit and down payment for a house ( as they said it was the only way to get them out of the house ) |

the mortgage advisor said i could have 115k on my salary which is 5 times what i earn. Im worried that if i do buy, i find myself with only enough money to cover the bills and have no money for anything else
