Yes, I did.
No, they're probably not "the majority" but they're probably the majority of moaners about their lot.
Like I said (!!), if that's what you want, fine but don't moan about housing if you're not satisfied with what you've got.
The property market isn't a licence to print money unless you pick the right sort of property and also the "right" time to buy and/or sell.
There's a house here (well, 3 miles away) that's been up for sale for years and I mean years. it's £390k, grade 2 listed. Fine example of its type but they just can't sell it. It started off at over £400k but has been reduced to what it's advertised for now. Why won't it sell at the current price? It's a barn of a place, 7 bedrooms but.......
Another, they want over £400k for it. It's on a very small "estate" of 5 (I think). They're all around the £250K mark but the pricy one has been over extended. It's far too much for what it is and where it's located. You can't stick a palace in the middle of ordinary houses.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
