    Claims that shortfalls in the supply of new homes will lead to an inexorable rise in UK property prices in coming decades have 'as much credibility as Britney Spears' latest comeback,' he wrote

    Couldn't you just TAKE their repo'ed house whenever you liked?

    Hang on, I thought you were pretending to be dead? (Sir)

    Normally they will ship it on to one of the big dealers in this business, who either

    Get 5 quotes, discard top & bottom then average the rest
    or
    Get 3 quotes, average them.

    Then stick it on with their favourite agent.

    However, tulipty little holes will go to auction if they don't sell quickly. Hard to predict what will happen post-boom at the moment.

    They have to get the best price possible, which means advertising offer amounts in the paper, but they still also sell at auction, halifax used to sell at their own, and have just started it up again after being shut for a few years

It’s worth looking at consolidating expensive credit card debt and personal loans in a remortgage.

    Bloody hell, that is stating the obvious. anyway, if you are behind on your mortage payments, surley the providor is not going to lend you more money?

    Where do they find these genius's.

    I cant pay my mortgage so I must cut my out goings and reduce debt? I would have thought that that would be too obvious to even print.
