Re: joined the property ladder
thanks peeps.
yes my house is a workshop.. lol 3 bed end terrace. acquired from the council with 59% discount. no mortgage, paid cash (inheritance). i was in two minds just to blow the cash or buy the house. i wont ever see any gain from buying the house but my kids will. with the way council housing and rules are going i was reluctant to get kicked out of this house and downsized into some shizzy little pensioner/disabled house in later years. |

Re: joined the property ladder
When I made my final payment and the place became mine. It was a wonderful feeling to know nobody can ever take it off you.
In my case the mortgage rates went through the roof in the mid eighties, I never reduced my repayments when the went down and as a result paid off 10 years early. Congratulations on investing in your kids inheritance. Don't be fooled. It is a place to live. Not an asset to be exploited. That is there job. WTF..... Someone pass me my shotgun. There is an idiot on the drive waving a compulsory purchase order. Who said they cannot take it off you!
