Care Costs Will Soak Up Life Savings
bmf replied to The Knimbies who say No's topic in House prices and the economy
Let's say that's true. That's an anecdote, not data. On average it's a problem. -

Pension Pots To Plunge Under New Rules .....
bmf replied to LuckyOne's topic in House prices and the economy
Shows final salary and public sector schemes to be even more of a lie. The guestimates from pension advisers are not just "optimistic", they are, as we say in my house, "a lie". -
Why do auction houses only get absolute crap! Is it like this in other countries?

Is The Cost Of Moving Now Putting People Off?
bmf replied to interestrateripoff's topic in House prices and the economy
I'm surprised someone is put off by 5K. Even if his house is cheap 5K is still hardly the main consideration. Housing going up a lot or down a lot is not a consideration when you are moving into a similarly priced property and already own. If that's you, fine, but if you can save 20K in a year have the brains to comprehend the context of HPC before you post. -

1.8K rise on a 300k home - hooray - no point working (again) this month! -
Sounds like the Robbie Keane of the business world. Keane is minted.

THE GREAT BIG FAT GREEK THREAD
bmf replied to interestrateripoff's topic in House prices and the economy
I always enjoy it when the powers produce a graph where the historical data is rising and the future predicted data bucks the trend by falling. It's just like a sales graph. So pathetic - why doesn't the person presenting it refuse? Have *some* pride! -
Interesting Map Of London Rent Prices And Crime
bmf replied to saving since 2005's topic in House prices and the economy
Yes, saw this on reddit, it looks nice but the data is poor. -
Me too. If you take a repayment mortgage you pay back the interest and the capital. I/O is just the interest - hence the name :-) So surely if you are paying I/O none of this would have gone into the capital repayments? Unless the way I/O repayments are calculated varies from a repayment mortgage, and it is the gap between these two that defines the compensation amount. Can someone clarify what this actually is? If so what is the distribution for the I/O mortgages? Would the median clam be this gap from 2007 onwards? In which case are we really looking at a lot of money here?
