conspirator Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 How do you pay a mortgage off in two years if you've borrowed 3.5x (or 5x, or 7x) your salary in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodumsunreader Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 maybe of interest to those with or without a mortgage ?

geneer Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 The rationale behind the series is a good one.....i.e. why give the banks unneccesary profit for doing SFA. But how much do you want to bet that the mortgages in question aren't the £150K monsters required to get on the property pyramid nowadays.

IPOD Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Only in the UK could a television programme about paying off your mortgage make primetime evening viewing. Mad. On the other channel is "A Place In The Sun: How To Price Out The Eastern Europeans" (oops, appear to have mis-transcribed the title, it is actually "20 Best Places To Make Money"). How pissed off are the Eastern Europeans going to be? They come to the UK, work all hours doing sh1t jobs to pay for a little bungalow back home, and then go back and find the Brits have priced them out of their own country!

CrashIsUnderWay Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Any truth that CH5 are doing a programme featuring HPConned titled "pay rent for the rest of your life and pi55 your salary up the wall"? No, they are doing a prog. called 'Worlds most stupid man bumped from top slot by dimsunreader" It's going out 3 times a day and will include lots of your fave cuts and pastes including your classix such as 'you r paying MY mortgage' 'you will rent forver' 'renting is dead money' 'i have lots of houses' 'prices never fall' I dunno. what a d!ckwt.

Mr Blek Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 And, all the people who are not unemployed, are sitting at home watching this drivel all day. You'd be suprised at the number of 'unemployed' that own houses. I know of one that has four properties. TBF, yes, he does have a mental health problem, but surely the state can't be paying out that much in benefits for him to buy four houses? And which mortgage lenders are giving him the money? But then again there was that cow on wife swap that was getting about 40k in benefits. Whats annoys me to the hilt is people don't understand jack about wealth creation. Inflated house prices is not wealth creation. Its the illusion of wealth. Blair and Brown are going to leave this economy devestated.

Catch22 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Mods, please could you alter the thread title to: "Bbc2 8pm 5 Jan, Paying your Mortgage Off In 2 Years" ... so people get the time right. Thanks. And could you alter the Bbc2 to BBC2, why do thread headers only allow the first letter to be a capital even though you input it correctly in the first place.?

dnd Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) I've been off work for a couple of days and had to endure daytime television AFAIK nobody has mentioned that most of these property related programmes have "MMIV" and "MMII" and the end of the credits ie made in 2002 and 2004 How many people watching are gaining a false sense of reality through watching these plethora of programmes/spin?

Saving For a Space Ship Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 (edited) Whats this program about then, future shock property porn? Pimping the missus and the teenage kids while working dealing smack / crack. If that does not pay the mortgage in 2 years, extra overtime as a credit card fraudster porn star should do it..... Oh hang on, this is just what many recent house buyers have to do just to pay the interest only mortgage over 25 years.

This thing on Channel 4 now is quite the most obnoxious load of twaddle I've yet seen. If you invest in a shed in Slovenia in 10 years it would be worth 310K... How can they get away with this drivel? If anyone treated any other 'investment' this way - well, they couldn't and certainly wouldn't have an hour devoted to it on primetime TV..

The pay off your mortgage program aint very good. I did look at the synopsis for the C4: "Everyone knows there is money to be made in property, but which country provides you the biggest return? Foreign property expert Amanda Lamb presents the definitive list of the 20 Best Places to Make Money from property in Europe." - http://www.puretelly.com/detail/?p=25986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
