Originally posted by AtWAnd what that person thinking when buying house at 3.75 - that the rate will be at its lowest value forever?
By the way morgage rates are typically higher than BoE rate - this means that 1.75% increase was actually on a higher number than 3.75%, thus representing smaller overall increase.
How is your morgage doing anyway?Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

Should i decide to buy the house of my dreams at some point, my house will yeild a rental income of around £1450pcm which will go towards paying for the mortgage for my next place.
Trust me .... it beats renting.Comment

Yes but it you were to buy a tiny little property like that for 275K now, you'd be
MAD
Now lets do the sums
Sell your house for 275K, invested at 5% (easy peasy) gives you over a grand month income, rent a flat for £1200 (again easy peasy) means renting you'd be 350 smackeroonies better off.Last edited by BlasterBates; 27 October 2005, 14:25.I'm alright JackComment
