I'm a home owner and I think house prices are going to be decimated. Personally I am guessing at a 40%+ fall. If I was in your position, I'd personally hold off, you will be in such a strong position in a few more months/year or so Let this whole C-19 blow over a bit first. Especially as you don't seem 100% happy with the purchase

perfect!

does PropertyLog get its information from each view? If so, set-up a macro to move through pages automaticall and setup a very wide search criteria and let it run, that way you will get a mass of properties logged. I have a powerful PC at home that runs 24x7, I can set this running if you wish?

The real reasons for high house prices
OzzMosiz replied to btd1981's topic in House prices and the economy
if they could help control house price inflation by normal wage inflation (or even just below it) then that wouldn't be an issue. How you control it is another matter though. -
Swindon Area: Suggestions of area from your experience
OzzMosiz replied to getknk's topic in England - South West
West is fine, sure Freshbrook and Toothill get a bad rep, but Westlea, Shaw, Middleleaze, Nine Elms and Peatmoor are generally fine. -
Interest Hike Aug 2nd - Will They / Won't They?
OzzMosiz replied to rantnrave's topic in House prices and the economy
Need to re-fix my mortgage in September - will still be lower than what I am currently on, so I am not bothered, hopefully savers rates will go up. -
Maffo, the 4 (and to a lesser extent) 3 bedders are coming down. A 4 bedroom house in a decent area are coming in at around £315K now. Some can be had in a slightly lesser desirable place for £285K Obviously this time of the year there is more competition too.

Well the local newspaper has been spouting on about how house prices will rise in Swindon. Now, I like to keep a track of any houses that I find "interesting" - not for a potential purchase, but because I like to see how fast they sell. My views is that numerous houses are being reduced in the last year or so. One near me came on over a year ago at 675, it since has been reduced 3 times and now down to 600K it has sold (probably for less). With so much building going on (and lack of infrastructure, including hospital, doctor surgeries and schools), prices aren't going anywhere north in my opinion. (for the record I am a homeowner)

Hope not, I've got a remortgage to do in September :) -
Good for you. I have no aspirations for my house to be worth millions. In fact, for all I care it can halve in value. My point has been by re-igniting this thread, that some of those who commented on me buying in 2009 were wrong and they haven't the balls to admit it.

My lad is 3, he has 7K saved up. He will get a lump some from me and his Mum when he is older and we downsize - he won't know this until the time comes and will be expected to be hard working. If he isn't hardworking he won't get anything else from us until he shapes up.
-
That may be so, but 70K to upgrade from a 3 bed detached to a much bigger 6 bed. Trust me, if this house had been on the market for a similar price to what we paid (not what is was advertised for) it would've been snapped up. p.s. it's likely worth around £110k more now in less than 20 months as I've renovated it.
-
Very true, but there are a lot of crystal ball/tea leaf readers here who thought that buying back in 2009 was a bad decision. They were wrong.
-
Almost spot on crashmonitor. We got it at a good price for it's size (its not a pretty house to look at).
-
Thanks CCC, haha no. Just 1 son and no more to come (I don't believe we should be allowed more than 2 kids - but I won't go into that). We will likely downsize when he is older to gift him some money. The house is a dormer bungalow so the footprint was big before the previous owners put the dormer extension in the roof. Live in Wiltshire, just outside Swindon.
