More housing propaganda on 14:42 - Jul 17 by Bluefish | A few 1 bed options in Ipswich around 75k plenty at auction for less but not sure how that works with a mortgage. The conversation started at 50k to 100k it was then hijacked about 50k properties elsewhere. Both points stand you can get on the ladder for 50k in England and under 100k around Ipswich |
There's getting on the ladder, and then there's getting on the ladder in a sh*t-tip that's gone to auction for a reason and will likely need another £50k-£100k outlay to get it in anything near approaching a livable condition. Or you could just move to Hartlepool. | |

More housing propaganda on 14:55 - Jul 17 by Bluefish | That is true but it is a separate point. The talk was can you buy somewhere to live. It is still a long way off a 20-30k deposit required. My first house was a 3 bed terraced, it needed work so I bought it because I recognised the potential and I wanted to move up. I was hopeless at diy but I laid carpets myself bought as offcuts. I knocked a small internal wall down and i tiled the bathroom amongst other things. It wasn't the best job but it worked and I made 30k to use on something else. That becomes 50k which becomes 150k and beofre you know it you are considering shortening mortgages or buying another |
How much is that first house of yours worth now? | |

More housing propaganda on 15:04 - Jul 17 by itfcjoe | I've been able to do the same - but I also made the best part of £50k on a house and all I did was paint it, put a cheap bathroom in and live in it for a few years at a monthly mortgage cos that was £300 lower than the rent would have been. That meant we over paid the mortgage by £300 a month so effectively savings went up, plus the £150-200 capital on the mortgage, and the house was growing so you just get miles and miles ahead of renters trying to save a bit. |
But doesn't this go back to the original point? Stop talking about not being able to save 20k and get on the ladder and build it up. Of course it can still be done and kids are doing it but corbyn doesnt want people to believe that and sadly his cult swallow it up. | |

But the bottom of the ladder in Ipswich is effectively £130-40k. When I bought my first one 10 years ago, £140k would get you a nice 3 bedder in a decent area - wages haven't risen in reality and those houses are now £200k. Getting that first £15-20k to get on the ladder is next to impossible if you are renting | |

I don't think it's too unreasonable an expectation that people should be able to get on to the housing ladder in the area in which they currently live/work, and without having to live in a box (that Sudbury hovel you linked to), not own the whole place (Stowmarket), or undertake significant works of improvement just to make the place habitable (Thetford, and probably all of the auction properties you've alluded to). | |

A quick scroll back through the thread proves one of us right. Spoiler alert - It ain't you! Off the top of my head your gems include 'spotty oiks' and 'tool'. Whereas from my side I'm not sure comparing you to Bloo really counts as name calling. I mean, unless you're a supersnowflake... | |

According to zoopla it sold for 138k in 2014 and now 176 value predicted. They ripped all my bodge work out and had it done properly. Let's not forget that an equivilent standard to when I bought it would be considerably less | |

I am pretty sure the bloo name came 1st and in my book it is far worse. What did you offer that was constructive? | |

I'm sorry. I take it back. Your trolling and winding up of Callis is a far different flavour than the kind that Bloo offered. Hopefully that'll heal the wound. As for constructive advice, I'm yet to see any of that from you either. [Post edited 17 Jul 2018 15:22]

Fair play for answering, but even allowing for changes to the property that 50 grand mark is very wide of reality *if* you consider your 1st home to be a typical option for a first timer. | |

I would say it is still. I was earning less than half of what callis is supposedly earning back then but we were a couple. We went for a 3 bed because we had a baby on the way and we had been renting until then. Presumably a new couple could afford to do the same but callis on his own would be better in something smaller | |

I've been of the same opinion long before Corbyn was leader of Labour and I voted for them. Mainly because it's been the same my entire adult life. Nothing to do with me swallowing anything up, everything to do with the fact I live on the side of the fence you are currently showing little-to-no understanding of. Every UK economist worth any sensible clout will tell you the same on the housing market - it's a mess for new buyers. | |

Again, you have no idea what I earn. I have no idea why you think you know what I earn. And no, a couple cannot. Think about this. You LITERALLY just said you got much more with a smaller salary when you bought your first house. Not sure how many times you need to be proven wrong, both by others and tripping up on your own arguments, before you learn from this and grow as a person. | |

I suppose the original point relating back to the poor example in the article is that it is possible but changes might need to be made. Times were tough back then especially with a baby but we lived carefully and made it work, it certainly wasn't luxuries and i had hardly any disposable income, certainly no money for sky tv etc or takeaways. I also accept deposits are harder and thinking about saving has to start as a child now but we have to move with times. As Martin Lewis says it makes sense to rack up student debt and save for deposits. If not going to uni then save like hell while still at home. Times have changed and people have to adjust. I will save to help my 3 kids with their deposits but they need to do their bit too | |

I didn't speculate in referenced an amount elsewhere in the thread and kept it vague. I was on about 15k back then youbwere definitely on more than that with a much higher tax free threshold as well. I've not been proven wrong on the claims despite a couple of clowns disrupting and some dodging rightmove searches the overall fact remains you can buy a house for under 100k especially out of Suffolk. It isn't really my problem if you want to make it happen or not but it is silly to say you need a 20k or 30k deposit | |

Stop believing the hype. It was said to be a mess in 03, there had just been a ridiculous boom in the couple of years before. Houses were doubling in value and said to be on the edge of a crash. We got on with it and made it work. The crash came a long time later and we got through that as well | |
