i've just had me house valued!!!

ooh, i don't know bout that like. could poss, call it "Evacuation" or summink!

I think its such a shame that prices are so high, means alot of ppl around our age wont be able to get anything half decent. Unless they hav rich mammies and daddies of course Im hoping itll go down over the nxt few yrs, at which point Ill be ready to move out.

Its crazy tho, my mam bought our house afew yrs ago for £16k. Average 3 bedroomed council house. Now houses the same in our street are going for around £85k. WOOP WOOP!!

I bought my hosue about 6 month ago...when the house prices werent at the peak they were high but not that bad. Its a 2 bedroom terrace..fairly big. I bought it for 83k and now its vauled at 110k thats in 6 month and I aint done that much to it just put laminate flooring in and a fire palce not loads just the little things count thou!

I think the house prices are shocking! I work in the construction industry and to buy a 2 bed detacched now in an okay location your looking at 240K Shokcing considerign my Mam and Dad bought there house 16 Yr ago a 4 bedroom semi for 40k and its valued at 195k now!

The mortgages are worse I pay a fortune for mine! Luckly for me well in a way my Gran died (thats not why IM lucky) but she left me a sum of money which I put down on the house and that reduced my mortgage payments! but id rather hav her a live than gone!

Me and Dan have decided.. we are getting s morgage next year!!! unreal house!! Can city is where we are moving...Class.

God, I dread to think!! lol Buying or renting?? Hope Im allowed to sleep over

BUYING! loving it.... i think everyone will be sleeping over i'll keep you a blanket though.... it'll be hard to walk because of the cans mind you.

God the though of it

Me and Dan are saving Pepsi cans (did we tell ya last Wed) we are building a castle he has about 80 cans so far! Im not doing that well but saving as I drink!

it will be amazing do u wanna live there

Thought ya's wanted to go away for the summer again?? I can jus imagine u and Dan sifting thru the household bills, deciding on what colour curtains to get!! Like a lovely couple!!

true... you just reminded me... we'll go away next year instead... i need too!!!!!!!!!!!! :spangled: :cyber:

Mick = memory of a 2p coin.

U'll not be able to go away when you hav a mortgage, unless you rent it out over the summer, I suppose

this is a good idea Ness

PAARRRRRRRTAY! :groovy:

Its all very well thinking you have made all this money due to your house increase but the fact is property money isn't "real money" unless you sell and buy a caravan or leave the country. Whatever money that you make on your overpriced house you will have to spend on yet another overpriced house.

in an optomistic mood this morning i see

He speaks the truth, it's paper money.

better than a kick in the bollocks though regardless of the real/unreal philosophical argument.

Re: i've just had me house valued!!!

Dont mean to add more negativity, but . . . . .


If u paid £30k for a house 5 years ago, and its now worth £32k, then u havent made "a shitload of money". You have made 2 grand. But, in fact you havent even made that. I dont know have the figures, but the average house must be at least 50% more valuable than it was 5 years ago, if not a lot more. Therefore your £32k now, is worth a lot less than your £30k was 5 years ago.

I read it that way first as well orbit but I think he means it's increased by 32. Bought it for 30 intially and now it's been valued at 62 almost 50% gain.

I hope that's what he meant. :spangled:

The gain is actually over 100%.

It's still early
