Just found out my house is worth f**k all

Unles you live in a salubrious part of London and your mortgage-free house is worth > £ 1 million even after the crash.

HTH

That is true. If you own a property like that, you could sell up easily.

City bankers with bonuses burning a hole in their pockets.

I don't want to sell it. I like London.

Good for you! Don't let the money tempt you away.

London is the place to be.

London is the place to be.

Course it is: its got everything: the best restaurants, pubs, theatre, schools, plenty of Easter European cleaners, plumbers and handymen etc etc.
And a Waitrose a short Aygo-drive or even a Brompton-ride away.
What's not to like?

Hideous place, crime ridden, crowded, miserable selfish people, introspective, gridlocked, smelly, dirty, overpriced, rip-off.

I've got a period country cottage just outside Frome in Somerset. Had it valued back in 2007 at £285k - done about 10k work on it since then, new kitchen, Rayburn, new bathroom.

Just got it valued again this morning £195k I thought house prices had only dropped 15% from their peak in 2008. I guess it's a regional variation, nonetheless, I'm shocked. And very gutted too.

Good to see you think £195k is f**k all. How big does a sum of money have to be to become significant?
