If you have a house you dont like.....

[BrilloPad]

Why would anyone have bought a house they don't like?

OK, I can understand it if you don't like the neighbours, but Mrs Tester and I paid special attention to seeking a house we both liked when we bought ours, as opposed to buying the place as an 'investment'; I guess that makes us unusual.

Some people buy just to get on the ladder.

Then there are the mouseholders.....

I've just put my place on the market. I was a little surprised at the valuations, more than I thought. Of course exchange of contract is everything.

You realise sas is actually three people posting under one login?

It took me a while to workout the reason.

They couldn't find that much stupidity in only one individual.

I hadn't, but I do now. He is a soiled filthy sock puppet. Are you one of his wearers?

Anyway:

• Didn't the Land registry show a fall in house prices recently?
• Don't house prices usually rise in March and a fall in Summer?
• The Sun's out. Wait and see if a bit of rain puts a dampener on house prices.

No no, this is the real deal. If you don't buy now, you will never afford to ever again.

Speculators still trying to pump & dump.

FFS don't tell SAS. The mentalist takes the piss out of me for buying a house in a declining market, and then buys one himself.

I really worry for the poor mentally unstable 5 foot nothing muppet.

I have (over the years) bought several "Houses I don't like"........... but I have never bought a "home I don't like" (at least initially)....

If me, Mrs Drewster and the Drewsterettes are going to live there then we must like it.....
If its a (potential) investment then "like" doesn't come into it....

I have never even considered buying my "home" as an investment... even though most/all of them have turned out to be financialy profitable.
I have never considered buying an investment (because) I like it.... although some of them have not turned out quite "as well" financially.

but at present "houses" are occupied - so no intention of selling....

now is a good chance to get rid of it before the next phase of the housing downturn begins.

Doubt it. The place that I'm buying at the moment (admittedly, as an investment initially) - the wee village that it's in has been subject to a good few visits already to confirm that it's a nice place to live, nice place to (potentially) have small people, dogs etc.

Talk it up, talk it down - are the media in charge of this country?

Not for nothing are the BBC known in the FT as pestowire

According to the front page of the Telegraph, yes!
