Examples of big & multiple drops
Mancunian284 replied to Sausage's topic in House prices and the economy
I’ll report back tomorrow 😀. It’s interesting that 2 look like ex BTLs too so I’ll see what spin the EA puts on that. -

It’s a lot easier to get a viewing now though. In April, I was phoning about viewings and being told they’d had 80 odd enquiries about the property. I’ve seen 3 on RM today and have viewings on 2 from calls made today. One EA is even letting me view outside of standard hours. Both look like ex BTLs. -

@Roman Roady Any decent drops in Trafford, Manchester? Or are the HKers still propping up prices? -
Where have all the High Street shops gone?

I went to Barrow with work recently. It’s about 20 years since my last visit. I thought that with all the money BAE is paying the locals to work there it would be a lot nicer than it is. They must be spending their BAE salaries elsewhere. -
You’re wrong. They don’t have national healthcare in the US, so contraception is not always available or free. Especially in the Jesus - belt. They don’t even get sex education in schools in some states.

Absolutely this.

Is contraception accessible and free in the US? Also contraception fails sometimes.

The penny has finally dropped at mumsnet
Mancunian284 replied to Frugal Git's topic in House prices and the economy
Sentiment seems to have changed a lot, in a matter of weeks. Not just on mumsnet but in the MSM too. Although I spotted an HPI 4eva article in the DM yesterday. -

I posted about this and has told I was every HPCers dream woman 🤣. I do still pay for the gym and pool because exercise makes me feel better. But I’ve cut out pedicures, eyebrows as they are easy to do at home - I’ve wasted so much money in these over the years. I still need my hair cutting - women’s hair is harder to cut at home than men’s, unless you go for a number 2 all over with the clippers which some women do do.

How bad would the mortgage crunch be for you?
Mancunian284 replied to rollover's topic in House prices and the economy
Sentiment seems to have changed on mumsnet. Most posters are expecting interest rates to go up. -

It is here - Debt Market About to Blow Up

Thanks. Just clicked on it expecting an article. Might save it for bedtime over the weekend 😀 -
It is here - Debt Market About to Blow Up
Mancunian284 replied to bubbleturbo's topic in House prices and the economy
I wondered this. Is inflating their debts away the only option left? Is that why the BoE have only raised interest rates by 0.25%? -

I’ve got 50 % LTV. guaranteed for 6 months on a new purchase. It’s 2.45% 10 year fix. I applied on 31st May and locked it in. The same mortgage is now 2.75%. With Halifax, through a broker. -
Buying Opportunity
Mancunian284 replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
Who would buy a 100 year old house without a survey? I agree there is probably something substantial wrong with it. -
Buying Opportunity
Mancunian284 replied to TheCountOfNowhere's topic in House prices and the economy
Yeah, I’ve got a 2.4% 10 year fix. It’s guaranteed for 6 months. Was approved this morning. I currently live in a granny flat at my parents. I gave up my private rental last year. I don’t have a great deal of privacy here and it’s a 5 hour round trip to work but I only go in 2 days a week now. I’m not paying anywhere near market rate rent.
