        In 2004 I bought a house for £125k and sold it in 2007 for the same £125k. I remember the estate agent phoning me up to say that the buyers had been in touch and they really liked it, but that they wanted to pay £115k because they wanted something with more equity in it. I tulip you not.

        That's puzzled me for nearly a decade, because I thought they were just a set of fwking cheeky kuntz. Now it's become clear - they were thinking of selling at a loss too so they could help those unfortunate enough to be younger than them

        Thanks MM

        Oh - looks like they did too. According to Rightmove:
        - June 2007: Sold for £125k
        - October 2014: Sold for £124k

        Aren't they generous

                Lose? I sold for what I'd bought for, and lived there for 3 years in between. Who lost?

                The price couldn't very well increase because the stamp duty threshold was £125k at the time.

                  well generally you make some kind of profit unless you paid vastly too much or bought in a bad area.

                  take away mortgage fees estate agents cost and it would be a lose , i guess the flip side is you have not paid some parasites mortgage for them.
                  so probably works out better.

                      Yeah I'm quaking in my boots in case a loser 40-year old virgin who lives with his mum assaults me with his selfie stick.
                      If you can't even leave home how do you expect to start a revolution?
                      Now please stop, I'm getting that deep belly laugh that means the afternoon will be a write off.
