    Strangely enough I asked the estate agent about the market in Reigate on Monday, as we're umming and arghing on selling two properties we have, or keeping them another year.

    He reckons for our properties (~£300k), he said the market is more active than it has been for a long time, with people bidding £5-10k less than asking. Houses are starting to shift, and he thinks it will get slightly better in Summer. People are looking at houses and offering for the right ones. He said prices were about the same now, as they were in 2010.

    We're going to hold on for one more year, we have long term tenants in them, comfortably paying off the small mortage and rents are fairly high (£1100 for one, £1200 for the other).
    Whatever Walter.

      Well, I am flattered.

      Wrong, as always, but flattered you are trying to throw that line around, given its irony...

        Of course I know, it was a rhetorical question.

        The chances are that in 2005 you had a different view on what you thought was going to happen.

        Did you foresee your current circumstances? On reflection was there even an inkling of your divorce/separation looming?

            Ah, the permie posting on a contractors site again.

            Why don't you do us all a favour, and fook off.

            That was rhetorical too

                I'm impressed he manages to do it consistently each day.

                  You'll probably have to wait a lot longer if you think I give a tulip what you think.

                    AH, the irony, so rich. Yanks don't get that, so you don't surprise me.

                      I don't have to wait very long at all, after every post you just can't resist chipping in.
