For the love of Christ, please, home sellers can you do your legal paperwork before you accept an offer from a buyer so that everyone involved can get on and do their jobs?

I don’t know what agents are saying to you when they pop round and tell you your home is worth £50k more than the market value but they sure as hell aren’t talking to you about the process of selling in a difficult housing market that’s looking like it’s about to get tougher.

If you’re thinking of buying your first home have a long hard think about how long you’re planning on being there.

If you’re thinking of selling your home then I really would get on with it.

At what point does this start to get out of hand?

First time buyers can now potentially borrow up to 6.5X their joint annual income.

Of course there are numerous caveats with this such as minimum income levels, minimum time in continuous employment etc.

Also I should say the numbers used are for illustrative purposes and are correct as at 01/09/2026 and may change hereafter.

And of course if you don’t pay your mortgage you may lose your home. But anyway what do you think? Are we pushing the envelope too far?

Personally I think we might be starting to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As much as I love first time buyers sometimes they try to play shady games with gazundering - I’ve not had any buyers of mine do it because if they tried it I’d drop them faster than a hot potato.

If you do try this on with people remember karma is an absolute bitch and you’ll deserve it.

Selling homes isn’t complicated. I’m not an estate agent but I have to deal with this bo****ks on the daily.

Don’t try to test the market. Make sure you pick a good agent who talks process rather than price.

They can’t tell you what your home will sell for but they can tell you what a good launch price would look like to generate the maximum interest in the shortest time so you invariably end up getting the best offer on your home.

And the best offer doesn’t mean highest price. If I were selling right now and there was a properly prepared first time buyer with everything ready to go, I’d bit their arm off.

And yes of course I’m biased to first time buyers and helping them get a home of their own but that all starts with people who want to sell and aren’t deluded into thinking their place is worth £50k more than it is because “our garden is bigger than the rest of the street” oh PLEASE 🙄

Anyway have a good day

Britain has had five house price crashes in 50 years. Most people only remember two.

That’s because a crash doesn’t always mean the price on the sign board goes down.

1973 to 1977: prices rose 30%. In real terms they fell 30%. Inflation did the damage quietly.

1979 to 1982: prices rose 12%. Real fall of 17%. Same trick.

1989 to 1995: this is the one people remember. Prices fell 20% in cash terms. 37% in real terms. Repossessions hit 75,000 in a single year.

2007 to 2013: prices fell 19%. Real prices didn’t recover for over a decade.

2022 to now: prices are roughly flat. But with 16% inflation since the peak, a house that hasn’t moved in price has lost around 15% of its real value.

The lesson? Your house can lose you money while the number goes up.

Nobody puts that on a Rightmove listing.

Everyone worries about the mortgage rate. Almost nobody checks what the house is standing on. The average subsidence cla...

Everyone worries about the mortgage rate.

Almost nobody checks what the house is standing on.

The average subsidence claim just hit a record ÂŁ20,000 and the trend is going one way.

The Pareto principle shows up everywhere. 80% of the outcome is from 20% of the input.

Stop fiddling while Rome burns and just concentrate on the big stuff.
