    Indeed. However there is enough equity in all of them to survive any but the most intense downturn. Anything up to 30%.
    Hard Brexit now!

      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?
      Good, it's came down recently. It could double and the bank wouldn't be repossesing my house. Just curious as to why you're so interested in house prices AtW - are you waiting for a big crash before plunging in or do you plan on paying someone else's mortgage forever?

        I have purely academical interest to the topic - if prices halfed now I would not have bought house since I prefer to invest my money into something that should give much better return - SKA.

              Yes - I pay £315 for 50% of 3-bedroom (big!) house, huge living room, 2 big bastard gardens with half price council tax and other bills in a fantastic location - those on this board who know Harborne would agree.

              How much and what do you pay for snaw? Please breakdown your monthly payment into interest+repayment.

                Well I pay a £350 mortgage for 100% of a 3-bed house in Zone 4 of London. Admittedly the mortgage wasn't always this low but I'm gald I bought when I did becuase I'm now sitting on 275K of equity in this property alone.

                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.

                  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.

                    How is that you manage to pay £350 a month for property worth 275k? Did you buy it when it cost 60k? What's the pure interest rate on your loan and what's the repayment?
