Calm Down Hpcers, Recovery Is Real
we the sheeple replied to crashmonitor's topic in House prices and the economy
Love David Smith, wrong more often than a stopped clock. -
Wow, no one ever seems to ever do the maths on this horrendous scheme..... Interest rate on the old system running at 1.5% p.a. To quote the new system "From 1 September 2012 until 31 August 2013, the interest rate for ICR loans taken out in 2012 will be 6.6% (RPI, plus 3%)." Let's say, new student graduate has borrowed 3 * 9K fees + 3 * 4K living costs Interest clicking away as follows. 6.60% 1 39.00 2.57 2 41.57 2.74 3 44.32 2.92 4 47.24 3.12 5 50.36 3.32 6 53.68 3.54 7 57.23 3.78 8 61.00 4.03 9 65.03 4.29 10 69.32 4.58 11 73.90 4.88 12 78.78 5.20 13 83.98 5.54 14 89.52 5.91 15 95.43 6.30 16 101.72 6.71 17 108.44 7.16 18 115.59 7.63 19 123.22 8.13 20 131.36 8.67 21 140.03 9.24 22 149.27 9.85 23 159.12 10.50 24 169.62 11.20 25 180.82 11.93 26 192.75 12.72 27 205.47 13.56 28 219.03 14.46 29 233.49 15.41 30 248.90 16.43 Paying back 9% of income over 21K. Assume you start work at 21K, you would need 8% p.a. income growth to only just pay it off at 30 years. Excellent system, definitely not a tax on jobs Mr Clegg.

600K House & 2Nd Home Signs Of "being A Success"
we the sheeple replied to Dave Beans's topic in House prices and the economy
With QuidCo you could start with the Aston Martin at beginning of week, pawn you way through each less expensive item in turn, just about have enough cash for a designer sandwich by the end of it. Nobody would guess. -
classic repeat yesterday with the couple moving from fulham to house near grantham half way through they bid on a wreck with a 450k guide. krusty asked them for their top dollar (600+250 rennovation) bid accepted (hooray) .. they agent mis-mailed them the list of all bidders and their bids. second highest bid very close to the guide. classic. http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/g5bn/relocation,-relocation--series-4---4-pj-and-hereward krust and phil - the agents double agents

This Is Not Gods Work - Bill Gross

Starring Angela Knight? -
http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2011/02/02/bill-gross-this-is-not-gods-work/ Hits the nail. Finance Industry is a Utility - Shuffles and Skims the wealth generated by others. Pretending it's vital to the economy is confusing the rude health of a massive Parasite with the near death if its Host.

Brighton is special - just google Bungaroosh

Whole area is right on sea level. May well be uninsurable and unmortageable -

Alliance&leicester Website Down?
we the sheeple replied to theonlywayisdown's topic in House prices and the economy
From the Grauniad http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/aug/11/santander-alliance-leicester-online-problems My internet banking has been out of action for at least a month. Totally depend on it, no paper statements, completely FUBAR. -
And in todays TeleG.... Bought first maisonette in 1984 for 30k with 2k deposit. (one bedroom, 50 sq m, sw19). 2x a new graduate+2 year salary at the time. Same property last sold for 270k in 2008. now you'd need a 67k deposit and a nice 215k mortgage (inc stamp, fees etc). Far too small to have kids in, but a deal of a lifetime.

Last paragraph was interesting "Nationwide is, in terms of its assets, more than twice as big as the other 49 combined. The Yorkshire, Coventry and Skipton building societies, which are the next three biggest, have all done at least one deal with a smaller rival in the last couple of years." Death of the Sector *************** So only 50 building societies are left in the UK and Nationwide is nearly 70% of the sector. The 49 really are like a bunch of old fogeys. Signifigance of Nationwide House Price Index *********************************** NW have around 8.5% of residential mortgage market (from 2010 annual report), so I guess the total Building Society sector only comprises around 12% of UK residential mortgage market. Nationwide HP Index must be based on approx 3000 properties per month, with a bias to the South. mmmm.

Just binning the last of the MoneyWeek pile from 26th March 2010. Looked at the "Five bombed-out retail shares to snap up" article for fun and checked the five, er, tips. 1. Game (GMG) - was 97p, now a bargain at 62.35p 2. HMV - was 78p, now even better value at 54.5p 3. N Brown (BWNG) - was 220p now 254.90p 4. Home Retail (HOME) - was 275p, now only 215.30p 5. JJB - was 19.5p, now a threadbare only 12.50p Remember why I cancelled my sub now .
