Anyone currently buying or selling a house? I'm staying with family having completed on my house a couple of weeks ago.
I'm viewing properties but interested to see how the market pans out now.... |

Two things, I'd hang fire as I think more will have to sell as their mortgages go up to an unsustainable level. Chains may also collapse.
If you can sit tight, I'd do it for as long as possible, or at least until this stabilises.
If you don't have a mortgage in principal then this will also impact how much you can borrow with high rates |

That's exactly what I'm planning on doing mate.  already there's more 'reduced today' on Rightmove than I've seen before. |

I saved up whilst paying my folks rent, food shopping, holidaying at least twice a year, have gaps in my employment history. I'm still in the under 35 club and I'm a single male with a mortgage  |

My house value has dropped £15.000 today as an identical one a few doors away has just had its selling price dropped by £15.000.
Fortunately I am mortgage free. |

I not convinced we'll see a massive drop in prices. I don't see there being huge movement if there is a crash in property sales because of the reasons behind it. If no one can get a mortgage or afford to move or find a buyer all I can see is people hanging on to property, staying put and thus even less property coming on to the market. Granted maybe a few more repossessions enter the market. But this lack of property movement or people staying put and off the market may help keep house prices fairly high. I see prices falling a bit, just not crashing through the floor. I do predict lots of empty windows in estate agents. |

Fixed last year for two years, but fortunately it's a fairly small mortgage so should be relatively easy to cover. My thoughts are with those who are going to be shafted by the sociopathic inepts we now have in power. |

I'm currently technically bankrupt, no-one is lending on apartments like mine due to cladding issues.
If you can't sell, the property is technically worthless.
I'm sat on a £240k mortgage on a property worth less than fuck all.
Thankfully I've no plans to sell or move, so hopefully the situation will be sorted out eventually.
Fingers crossed.

Hang tight as alot of 1st time buyers will find themselves in negative equity if house prices dip especially if they took advantage of the various Government schemes as the developers inflated the prices to increase their profits ?? and if the rates increase ...... |

We can only hope they are ousted before they can do too much damage to such as yourselves. |

We sold ours for cash, well below the realistic value because leaseholders had been told to expect individual bills above £98k each. We know lots of people in the same boat, unfortunately.
Not buying anything leasehold ever again! |

Where to start.......
Cladding doesn't meet fire regs.
No fire breaks installed, despite the cladding company they must be installed.
Grenfell waiting to happen.
And dipshit tenants keep having fucking barbecues on their balconys.
We've just been informed the original builder is going to do the necessary remedial works at his cost.
Great news.
Now ask me when........

I managed to fix last month for 3 years.
Yes I've seen that some home owners can expect to pay double what they were paying the previous month. Its absolutely insane how rotten this year has been. |

"I'll never be able to get a mortgage as a single wage stopped being enough in the early 2000's.
Move north. I bought mine in 2020. 25% deposit. One wage. "
Where? Then I'll get asked how long have you been with your current employer...? |

Noooooooooo please don't push our prices up! Our wages don't have London/SE weighting and are lower, on average, than the southern areas. We can't afford southern prices! |

I sold mine last month, and will hopefully complete the deal on the new place withing a few weeks, I have a 10 year mortgage in place, Just under £800 a month but at least I know what I will be paying until it runs out,
A log fire will be the first thing a put in with the cost of gas at the moment and I will adjust my out goings as the months go by to help pay for the mortgage |

"When our currency has collapsed this much don’t be surprised if foreign money start buying the houses instead. "
That's already happened: when both Tories and Labour started to allow dirty money into the country, turning the streets of London into a real life Monopoly board. |

"When/if the house market drops or collapses the property developers will clean up before most get a chance to get on the market "
absolutely, which is why Kier Starmer said..
I’ve seen home ownership rise almost my entire life – it’s the bedrock of security and aspiration. That pebble-dashed semi meant everything to my family. But now, under the Tories, the dream of owning your own home is slipping away for too many.
“And that’s a political choice. Because if you keep inflating demand without increasing supply house prices will only rise. And homes become less affordable for working people.
“No more buy-to-let landlords or second homeowners getting in first. We will back working people’s aspiration. Help real first-time buyers onto the ladder with a new mortgage guarantee scheme. Reform planning so speculators can’t stop communities getting shovels in the ground.” |

Mortgage in principal are not worth the paper they are written on, they do not guarantee you will be given a mortgage they just let you view houses and put offers in only to land the seller with solicitor fees for a failed sale when they pull the plug on the buyer 8 weeks in as we found out a few months back when selling a house, the solicitor will even tell you they stand for nothing. |

Interest rates are very quick to rise as we've all seen, but very slow to come down. If you do re-mortgage before they reach the predicted 6.25% in the spring of 2023 (if not sooner) then go for a 5 year fixed.
Most new mortgage offers are valid for 6 months, so if your current deal expires in the next 6 months, its worth applying for a new mortgage before they go up any higher. Once you have a mortgage offer, lenders won't withdraw them and you can sit and wait to see what happens nearer to when your product is due to expire. If its higher than the rate you apply for today then fall back on this mortgage offer BUT if its lower than reapply. |
