    Buying a house in the current climate

    Her Zoners, wondered what you reckoned to this dilemma. The girlfriend and I have, after 5 years or so of hard saving, raised our 15% deposit needed to get us on the housing ladder / snake. Our income has been approved too, so we are basically free to go off and buy somewhere around London for...

    Mortgages..

    Got a re-mortgage coming up in a couple of months & am keen to secure a really good deal. In my experience Mortgage advisors that are affiliated to bigger companies aren't worth a proverbial as they're constantly pushing certain products regardless of client interests. It may be a contradicton...
  4. Anybody else looking FORWARD to the new season?

    Having read many of the threads on this board over the close season you would think the fans seemed consigned to the fact and would even quite enjoy facing some sort of armeggedon both on and off the pitch,and would love it if we got relegated at best or wound up and go out of business at worst...

    Come on then ladies and gentlemen. We have all had some pretty terrible dates - so give us your horror stories. Mine dates back to 2006 time.

    I'd quite like to buy a flat with my girlfriend, but it's (almost) literally impossib

    Having watched house and flat prices soar now for about 15 years, I kinda always suspected they'd have to come down again at some point. And indeed they have of late. Yet STILL it's practically a dream for a first time buyer. Having had a chat with a financial advisor, we've got a few options...

    Question Mortgage query

    With a standard repayment mortgage, if I'd paid it for 9 out of 25 years (i.e. 16 years to go) how much capital would I have paid off (let's assume £150,000 mortgage)? Is it an easy question? I have no idea!

    MR2 again!

    OK here's the update. Might buy it Wednesday if the AA report is good but I'm getting grief from the GF. What's it to do with her? I'm not getting a loan, it's hardly putting me into financial worry, I have no mortgage/rent/blah blah. Why is she so uptight? We don't live together (yet). Don't...

    Question Any idea what your LTV is???

    Do you know what your current "Loan to Value" on your property is? It is one of the key indicators that lenders look at when deciding on giving a mortgage. It is basically the value of your loan compared to the value of your property. Our is around 60% which is not to bad considering the...
