Part ownership is not limited to LHA anymore
bomberbrown replied to Freki's topic in House prices and the economy
After reading all the blurb, this nothing more than ‘key money’. -

Do you only pay 5% of the price of a new boiler should it need replacing? I think most likely not. -
As much as it pains me to say it, I think the ‘powers that be’ have decided to go down the 1970’s path 😤

London scheme to buy flats at 35% discount
bomberbrown replied to Wampus Cat's topic in House prices and the economy
At the peak of the council house/flat building of the 60's, 70's and early 80's, they were building 300,000 places a year. Lewisham builds 11 flats and it's BBC news! 🤔 -
It’s only 33 square metres! 😮

Actually, scrap that, it gets better.

The cheapest house in London
bomberbrown replied to NoHPCinTheUK's topic in House prices and the economy
Oh dear, where to start? The Brixton one (13 mins in) is barely Brixton, it’s Loughborough Junction. I live 15 minutes walk from it and I can’t think of a more depressing place to spunk half a million quid on, and then some more to make the house habitable. It’s basically like living in an industrial estate. This is a perfect example of where someone has done quite nicely out of Right To Buy. -

Regarding the octogenarian mother OP, I read it that she was a high rate tax payer whilst working so that’s why her DB (final salary) pension is so high/comfortable. I could be wrong? For her to be a high rate tax paying pension, she would have had to have had a final salary of around £100k about thirty years ago.
