Ditto. We did IVF last year (successful) and IVF and STR at the same time are a very bad idea. I feel sorry for people priced out (unless they voted Labour or Lib Dem or Tory in 2005).

The Affordable Housing Meme
iamnumerate replied to babesagainstmachines's topic in House prices and the economy
I always thought that affordable meant housing only certain people can buy i.e not me as I am a white man and do not work for the Government. -
Why are you shocked ?

Good career advice ? For a lot of people it is a waste of time. -
Why First Time Buyers Have Gone For Good.

And they have to pay taxes to support wasters. But most of them voted for it ! -
Immigrants To Be Sent Packing
iamnumerate replied to laurejon's topic in House prices and the economy
Why ? I know loads of hard working immigrants [although quite a few of these get social housing], I also know loads who are chavs [most of which get social housing]. I would not be surprised if the two do not cancel each other out and then of course we have Islamic terrorism which is caused by immigration. -
In a few years time the romanians will go home as well - leaving their chavs behind ! My wife is a hard working immigrant and she wants us to go to her country. Strangely friends of ours who are immigrants but - unlike us - get cheap/free housing do not want to go home .

My ex neighbour lived off benefits - still burgled my house though ! btw he was the child or grandchild of immigrants. -
Thatcher's Britain Vs Brown/blair's Britain
iamnumerate replied to BoomBoom's topic in House prices and the economy
Really ? When you are next ill, think about who developed your medicine, it was not a miner. Then again I would not say that the miners should not have a fair wage and of course the right to vote to strike or not. -
Sounds like my school.

The Wilsons thread ---merged
iamnumerate replied to Uriah Heap's topic in House prices and the economy
The thing is that there is not a free market in housing. I have to subsidize some people's rent (eg single mums) if they did not get this the BTL owners of their property would have to sell and prices would fall (or fall more). -
I have a colleague who lost lots of money on BTL and wasted a year of her life - sadly she won't tell me what happened. She still wants to get into it again.

iamnumerate replied to Uriah Heap's topic in House prices and the economy
To get very rich ? I don't like BTl mainly because I (via paying taxes to Gordon who gives it to wasters like people I know to rent from the BTL,) have to subsidise it. I am not that keen on council houses as well (why should some people get cheap houses, some of them have more money than I had when I bought my flat - again personal knowledge) . -
You did not read my post very carefully or my signature and I missed some bits out.. We do not get anything I work, pay for my house myself and pay taxes which is why we want to leave - this country is bad for workers. There are immigrants from Colombia, who want to stay here and live off the social - but my wife is not one of them that is why she wants to go back !!! I have paid taxes for years the only reason why we want to have children is because time is not on our side. Fortunately for the taxpayer we will leave as soon as our children can go to school, although that is of course fortunate for my children , the schools in London are rubbish !!! Of course if we did not pay for lazy people (immigrants or not) hard working people (of any race) would want to stay here. Although it amazes we import MORE wasters - don't we have enough of our own !!

It cost us £2k in 2000 and we had about 90 people there. We had the reception at the church hall which meant no alcohol was allowed which was good as some guests have problem. On the subject of emigrating my wife is from Colombia and thinks life there now it is getting safer is so much better than here unless you have subsidised housing here, which explains why most Latin Americans don't want to go back (they living in council housing). As soon as we finish having kids and they are old enough to move - we will be leaving.
-
The problem is that immigrant workers might go home but immigrant chavs will never do so. I can not believe that there are not any Polish chavs here although they are probably less than many other groups.

Se England - Rent Vs Mortgage
iamnumerate replied to talksalot81's topic in House prices and the economy
True but renting is relatively a worse deal in London compared to other parts of the UK. A friend of mine rents out a flat worth 200 k for £800 pcm in London but in the midlands he rents a house worth £300 k for £770 pcm. -
I agree

'work Or Lose Home' Says Minister
iamnumerate replied to sambino's topic in House prices and the economy
There is just one point there are lots of migrants who do not work and for that matter get council housing or free private rented. I know quite a few. -
Immigrant Support For House Prices
iamnumerate replied to qska's topic in House prices and the economy
I still think that it is a minority view. If you ever read any immigrant press it is very unusual to read any articles that report that view. My common is things like "I missed the English summer last year - I was asleep" !! I have known over 30 immigrants from countries (Colombia, Brazil, Australia, South Africa, Spain, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay) hotter than UK and only 1 said she likes the climate here !! -
An Englishmans Home Is ..... Downright Pokey
iamnumerate replied to Bearfacts's topic in House prices and the economy
Population does not affect house prices. Only racists or VI think that. -
Actually I saw that 6 years ago. It was because the house was not suitable for a mortage (concrete).
