Unless you have already sold one at current prices or you are basically doing a swap.
Cameron is preparing the nation for the usual Tory slash and burn approach. Spending power will be massively reduced and there will be no money to buy houses.
He is goiog to hit us all hard now while the memory of Gordon is still fresh, vivid and ripe for all the blame. Also Cleggys head is still spinning from al the fame and status and he will go along with everything his boss wants.

Not many people can afford to buy a house anyway thanks to the previous government, so the advice is a bit redundant.

Deficit reduction =cuts=unemployment= house price falls.
Deficit reduction =cuts= less spending =unemployment= house price falls. Unemployment =less spending=more unemployment=house price falls. House price falls = confidence falls=house price plummet. |

Melv
The policy of spending cuts etc is going to keep inflation under control, which equals low interest rates and equals a stable housing market. If you get a new mortgage now, I would be considering a 5 year Fixed rate. The rates are falling dramatically |

Are you suggesting Melv and Sub are one and the same? |

I will nominate Chiz for a medal if house prices remon stable for the next three years.
I just glanced at the Independants analysis of the scale of the cuts. OH fk. its v. bad. Had to stop reading. House prices will totally collapse. The value of houses will be the least of our worries. |

I'm praying you're right. I've saved money for years to buy a house with and have never been able to. Of course having interest cut to zero in the last few years has made it harder to save, but with a bit of luck I'll be able to afford somewhere to live yet  |

thing is we'll only get one when it's too late /not worth it fck this country i hope it sinks |

Its not in anyone's interests for house prices to fall too bad. The government,Bank and industry all need the degree of confidence that steady house prices bring to the consumer so financial measures will support whatever it takes to keep stability. Politicians will reassure the markets and policies will be adjusted to keep that side in place. Maybe a 5% or 10% max fall but cant see the scales of doom and gloom proposed.

were they stable when they were increasing price at well ahead of the rate of inflation every year? nope. did the government worry? nope. did the banks worry? certainly not enough. all the above didn't want house prices to plummet in the us (in fact it was worse there with government more heavily in the mortgage business). they still did. |

Thats all right then; no worries. I suppose these geniuses will be getting their **** packets out and jottting down these finacial measurs for us all too see. Just to keep our confidence up. Now here comes reality.Oh dear nothing is going to happen; is it? Because these masters of the universe are the same maniacs that a couple of years ago told us that the world was in an endless boom and the house prices where going up and up and up for ever and ever. Amen. |

i find the whole housing/prices debate ridiculously over-played.
Unlike the 'price' of a house which is can be determined by any fools willingness to go into hock to the bank the 'value' of a house is primarily determined by the rent it yields which is very easy to work out because the rental yield of a property is very stable and easy information to acquire. So, find out how much your property yields per year, divide that by a 'reasonable rate of return' ie 6% and you should get a pretty accurate 'value' of your house. If your house is over-valued by this valuation - sell it. If your renting and and your paying more that 6% of the sale price of the property - buy it. |

Of course Gatespeed, The Economist have been reporting on the price/rent ratio over recent years, they pointed out in April that for Britain as a whole this figure is currently running at 31% above it's long run average.

Oh really .. most countries you can't just up & leave to because i have UK citizenship not Thai / US etc Most here would leave for Aus tomorrow .. most there wouldn't even consider it (unless like my Aussie cousins you crave the greed & money of London) but then they'll return .. just like the hoards of immigrants would if their benefits/education were stopped etc .. So is it really my country ? It seems more like one big prison and the Government (there is only one) will tell you anything to have you think otherwise whilst propping up their precious market with absolutely Nothing to back it in real terms So who has the real woeful inadequacies ? |

People like you drag the countrty down. Are you teh sort of guy that feels hard done by? Have you low self esteem? Look, the fact is you only live once, so get enthusiastic about life and get out there and make a good one for yourself. I can assure you there are worse place to live. Places that are hell on earth. Look at the townships in South Africa, where people live in poverty. They dont moan, they get out there and celebrate teh World Cup coming to their country. They celebrate it despite it doing very little to actually help them!! Liek other have said. If you really dont like the UK just leave. No one is keeping you here. Problem is , most other countries in teh World will refuse to have you , unless you can offer them something in return ! That is where teh UK differs from other countries |

We borrow spend remortguage spend then borrow some more and spend. All in the firmly held belief that we deserve our houses to be cash cows. Then when it turns out that what goes up comes down and " you don't get owt for nowt" its all Boo hoo not fair how did that happen. Millions of us will get badly stung by negative equity but we will all be at it again next time round. |
