Ask me again in a couple of months. It's very nearly at its end. What a long 25 years that's been, but I'm glad I listened as an apprentice & took out a straight repayment mortgage out.  :y :y

... and got seduced met a damn fine Valleys wench who boarded my late-night bus in an inebriated state with a friggin' £10 pound note for a 60p fare with a damn well-paid job and a hefty £130 per month mortgage.

Paid it off around five years ago ... 'cos it had risen to £170-odd per month ... and was cripplin' us at the time!

You must have bought your house with a credit card in The Valleys Seth?  8)  ;)  ;D

Buy, and never sell a house if you move. Especially in the absence of viable pension fund these days.

Renting is throwing money away from an investment point of view.

Buying is borrowing in order to own the capital at the end of the term. :)

We've been very lucky Vamps. Very lucky indeed.
That said, we both worked full-time since we left school (apart from her maternity leave), and started-out with nowt - 'twas a case of "work, work and more friggin' work"

She works part-time now (and loves her job), and hopefully we'll both be able to retire in a few years time ... well, that's the plan anyway. ;)


Really feel sorry for those who're starting-out/trying to get onto the property ladder. Really do. :'(

For those of you who whinge about your mortgage repayments. Think about this.

Base rate today is 0.05%

Base rate in 1980 was over 15%.  :o

The Mrs and I bought our first property in 1980, soaked up the entire income of two moderately well paid people and this was just a small very modest flat. BUT, only 5% deposits were required.



Save up the deposit and buy. DO NOT shovel cash into a landlords bank account (unless it's mine  ;)).

.. and, having a Mortgage that tracks base rate, I'm now feeling a bit of a plonker for paying the lion's share of it off early in the term. ::)

Now that Mark Carney is in charge at The Bank of England, it will be interesting to see where interest rates go in the coming months and years...  :-\

Indeed  ???

Personally, and this is not likely to be a popular comment, I hope he puts the base rate up a bit. My business imports from Eurozone, so a higher interest rate will (or should) improve the exchange rate.
