I wanted to give myself more power and control in negotiation. When we were viewing our house I told the agent my wife and I were interested and I would call him in 2 days. I then called him the very next morning and asked if the buyer was contactable. I then told him my wife suffered a stress related condition and I wanted to protect her from the stress of waiting for an offer to be accepted and that we had to reach an agreement that day whilst she was oblivious to the conversation I was now having with the agent. I stated that failure to reach an agreement that day would mean I would go home

Are Cars More Expensive Now?
Caveat Mortgagor replied to iamnumerate's topic in House prices and the economy
But car finance isnt cheap. A lot of manufacturers charge in excess of 5% apr on their own approved finance deals for new cars. Buy a second hand approved used from main dealer and they want 10%+ interest. Interesting to note that the manufacturers who offer cheaper credit have lower residual values as people are more likely to have a new car on low interest / interest free for very similar payments to a used car at 10%+ apr. -
Media Talking Down House Prices
Caveat Mortgagor replied to Fairyland's topic in House prices and the economy
Absolute radio news this morning reported 'Fears' for the housing market. Newsreader used hushed tones. All blamed on Brexit. They then had an essex boy estate agent who said on the day of the brexit result the phones in his office were quieter that day. So there you have it. Brexit to blame for fears of the housing market. Good news though, Carnage will oversee a cut in interest rates. -
Theresa May Touches On Housing Crisis

That could be valuable information to know before a public announcement. -
For the sake of accuracy I will point out it doesnt specify what benefits were paid out, could include HB also. All the same, it is pretty damning that his divis are similar in the amount of state subsidy to his employees.

There is no hard and fast definition of what we are to vote for, certainly in terms of what a brexit vote would mean. However to address the OPs query, its the Schengen agreement which gives free movement across member states. Bearing in mind DC would be negotiating on our behalf, and he's an inner. Also consider the following: DC stated immigration would slow down to 10's of thousands in the run up to the 2010 election. He was always going to fail as he cannot control EU migration, but he has failed to control non EU migration. In fact figures released by the ONS showed that in the 12 months

When one door closes another one opens. Hint: I guarantee you will see Gidiot standing up in Parliament boasting about the number of new business start ups. The sudden spike should provoke some thought.

Uk Consumes Far Less Stuff Than Decade Ago

Income used to service greater (housing) debts rather than fund consumption? -
Sorry no, but I had her car towed away because it was parked on the road with no tax or MOT. She deserves everything she gets.

This morning our neighbour has had an EA round. She is everything HPC despises. Bought for nothing more than 25+ years ago, in 2007 decided housing was free money so bought a much bigger house up the road on a 100% LTV interest only mortgage, and rented the first house out. All despite the fact she doesnt have a regular income, she does some home teaching - drama! (Another story, but i got her tax credits stopped when she moved her now ex fella in) Kicked the tenants out 2 years ago (bitch section 21'd them a few days before Xmas) and has spent the last 2 years renovating the house with no bu
