    When did you buy?
    First house in 2005, sold in 2010 and made a £16K loss on it due to the crash.
    Second house in 2010, sold in 2015, came out evens in terms of money in and out but spent those 5 years working my ass off with 1 holiday and paid off the entire mortgage in the time I was there.
    Third house in the process of buying now using the entire equity of the previous property as a 40% deposit.
    Have you tried switching it off and back on again??

        Nope. All my own cash. Saved from hard work.

          You are an exception.

          I also bought in 2005, zero BOMAD.

            Glad to be joined in the "what do you mean I haven't made a sh*tload of cash out of my first house?" club....

            I'm tempted with my house buying ability to write a book on how to make money out of houses, write down all my experience then on the last page write "and do the opposite of everything said previously"....

              You can't change how old you are. If you are over 40 most likely you would have caught the 20 year bull property market. It's not skill or financial savvy. Just luck.

                    The bull market has not even started yet. Buy buy buy. Sell your grandmother. Prices can only go up.

                      There's VAT on the Fava beans and Chianti though. Even GAL's don't escape tax. It's only fair.
