    til I till the field



    till I till the field

    Yes I know, but til is a lot less confusing

Unfortantly I have to sell or buy the ex out and she is being unrealistic on what I should pay her, and even if she softens I don't really want the house just want to move on.

    Question is, you've now got a £320K house, but how much is your mortgage?

    Sorry, meant Bhutan. Hotbed of Buddhist Fundamentalism. Hinduism tolerated, but no other belief systems.

    Hindu fundamentalism, is found in certain states of India.

    Funny that, I can't think of a Christian state in the world today, that actively, with government intervention, persecutes people of other religions. But I could be wrong.

    ( I wouldn't want to live in the S of the US either - but not because of the religionists, but because my family is mix-raced ).

    Nepal? I didn't realise it was a hot bed of fundamenthalism.. (spelers..i have a cold)

    Well, saw the viewers.

    They have a baby on the way and really wanted a 3 bedroom house - mine is a 2 bedroom, and this was not clear to them. They were even given the leaflet on the house once they arrived here.

    Estate agents are getting very desperate these days....

    We had 14 viewings in 3 weeks for a house that was 40K under market value and that had great feedback from everyone who saw it (was looking to move to the US....bounced the idea when my wife decided she didn't want to live in the middle of a bunch of religious right wing nutters).

    Problem is...people are looking, but nobody is buying - and even when someone does want to buy 60% of people are getting their mortgage application refused.

    Must be at least 10 views in total over several months and no offer.

    If I was to keep and rent, surely prices must be on the way up in another 5 years or so?

    This is one weird time for housing......
    These are normal times - average is 15 views for an offer. The early noughties will be seen in the future as abnormal times.
