      I look forward to seeing Chris and Katie with long faces complaining about their mortgage woes in the Daily Mail in a few years time.

        Will be mortgage free in November, how much smugness is generally permitted?

          You can be smug because you are lucky.

          Chris and Katie are in a situation where they are not and rather than move from house to house with school age children while renting have gambled on a long mortgage instead.

                  These guys should rent instead and wait until the mega crash.

                    40 year mortgages are just the market's response to the demands (from the ****wits who think they know better) that all consumer mortgages be repayment, not interest only.

                    Factually repayment, but practically interest only.

                      It's the markets response to crazy house prices, even record low interest rates are no longer enough - 40 fooking years mortgages, insane.
