Cheap housing

[Billy]

Will your house ever be worth in your lifetime what you've paid for it, taking into consideration the horrendous amount of interest you're likely to pay?

 

Yes, I'd expect it to increase in value as it was purchased just as prices started to rise. If it doesn't it provides an excellent place to live and run a business from which is great. Purely for investment I would have looked at other properties.

I can remember being in my early twentys ( just ) aggressive and fired up about how the 50 somethings had everything and were slow and lazy. How they had cooked the housing market and how it was impossible to get on the ladder. I got on that ladder in 1992 and channeled my energy into getting that morgage paid off asap. Especially since the rate went up to 14% at one point. It was easier then because we did not feel we had a god given right to afford every new game console, ipad, iphone and scubby that comes out. I did 18 hour days often 7 days a week and spent 4 weeks in a war zone. Its always been the same stop moaning put your hands down your trousers find your cohonours and get on with it.

^^^this. I left my home city, worked on the roads, lived in a caravan. There are lads that I went to school with that are still bumming about Stoke, moaning about how hard things are!

Ok mate, how about a block of flats, to accommodate the local students.

 

 

Not my land not my business, I think you're trying to suggest students would a problem, this might or might not be the case, the issue in discussions is building materials, design etc not peoples character.

 

Seeings as you've touched the subject I'd say being housed like battery hens might be a cause of many social and physical ills, especially combined with financial pressures

Couldn't agree more.

 

The only choice most people have is either rent forever (massive waste of money) or get stuck with a lifelong mortgage on a shite 2 bed new build with a postage stamp garden (again, massive waste of money). This is one of the worst things about over population.

 

The home in the original post is beautiful, sustainable, will last a long, long time and is a fraction of the cost of a new build estate house. Realistically a cob house will cost around £10k -£15k, which is still great, but the planning laws in this country are just awful so it's not as simple as buying a bit of nice land/woodland for £20k then building a £10k home. It's as if the government want us all to get in debt to the tune of £150k and make the banks and corporations loads of money

 

I agree with that, the government want us in debt as its a form of control as we need to work and earn to pay it off so they in turn get a % in tax then we pay our mortgage which in turn they get a % in tax but if we wer to build sustainably like this they would loos out on billions of income to award to each outher in high salaries and bonuses for looking after us, well that's my opinion even as someone owned by a home/ mortgage

 

Might not be related but Labour came to power in 1997 after 18 years out.....

 

Some folk here might want to look at the "Bradbury pound" and how slavery had to be "modified" in order for it to be going on unnoticed, its an incremental thing. One world government, agenda 21 and Codex Alimentarius are the incremental futures of all of us if we don't start pulling the punches now, with our bucks.

 

The Vatican sits at the head of the table, followed by the banking cartels of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and a few others and the Royal clans. Taxation was brought in to fund the Napoleonic war, it was to be scrapped after, but the guy who was to instigate that scrapping died just before he was due to address it!

 

We also dont actualy need to pay "interest" WE give our government the power to issue currency, but nowadays this has been taken over by the banking cartels and corporations for "interest".

 

in islamic Law it is against the Law to charge interest, thats why your all so brainwashed by the bought media against Muslims:001_smile:

 

Syria is the last Rothschild bank free country, thats why you all think Bashar al-Assad is a scum bag, your spoon fed media propoganda day in day out.

 

was the same when Gaddaffi went to go over to the gold standard rather than that worthless fiat Dollar:001_rolleyes:

 

I dont know what or how this all can change, but the longer we fund this with our bucks the tighter that noose will get.

 

I learned yesterday that the Vatican are the largest shareholders in at least two of the worlds largest military weapons manufacturers, go figure.

 

Do your own research and find out whats REALLY going on, hidden but yet in plain view, it will make you shudder.

 

And next time you think its all just the way it is, that we run by blundering fools, NO, its by design, we are manipulated to such a degree you cant see the bars of your cell or feel them!

There in lies the problem Lee. It would be your business if I was to come and build something close to your place ( without) planning permission. Students were just an example! What if I decided I was going to build a hostel to house peadophiles next to your kids school without planning permission. Would this be ok ?

As long as you kept in your boundaries I wouldn't care less if you built the Taj Mahal permission or not, the peado scenario is a different subject, in a civilised society with no planning permission etc those bastards wouldn't be alive!

Why don't I own my place Lee?

 

You only lease the land its on, thats how comes they can compulsory purchase your home and build what ever they like in its place, I own my house your not alone we're all took for mugs
