    The Present and Ex-House Owners Thread

    All you rental losers keep out - this is a gated community.
    So some of us have made a small fortune from BTL, some own their house outright (a substantial asset on this crowded island), most still have a mortgage but can cope with a sizeable fall in property values and will still have a valuable asset at the end of 25 years, some have sold an existing property and taken the equity to re-invest should prices fall.
    All very smart moves. No wonder the renters are bitter ...
    Hard Brexit now!

          I know.

          It's astonishing that most of the congregation seem to portray themselves as thrusting, aspirational businessmen but the minute they encounter someone who has a modest property portfolio the knives come out.

          They seethe in agony and predict your downfall, grasping at every unfavorable straw straw cast upon the financial media wind.

          The politics of envy is alive and well.

          And with that, the latest results from the Bogey Homes League: -

          Properties 4 - Mortgages 0

          You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

              It's plain for anyone to see the UK housing market is about to correct, or rather it has started to. It also looks more likely the UK will go into recession.
              That doesn't equate to wanting to see people lose money. I'd assume you bought some time ago and are in no rush to sell, so what the market does now shouldn't be of too much concern and could possibly result in a buying opportunity.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                And you're about to see 40% in real terms of the value wiped out in the next few years

                If it happens over 5yrs a no risk cash depositor on say 6% interest will be be thrashing you with a 50%+ greater return (+30% vs -20% in actual money terms)

                    It will no doubt correct, but my property investments are long term, in lieu of pensions (of which I have none, of any value).

                    I'm not into property as a 'Get Rich Quick' investment. I'm securing the future of my family.

                    Even with adjustments, property is still the best and most consistent performer.
