But at least its cleanly done and relatively well presented if not over sterile.

I got a bit of a shock! I'd expected them to be toppy but not that toppy. Had been in a couple of houses recently from the same developer and loved the finish on them. But that is well outside the budget we have for our family home.

I can easily see it fetching an extra 100k at least. Also 40 has a B3 BER where as 7 has D2 and 2 extra bed rooms

Rent to buy is geared towards people who struggle to get together deposits to get finance from banks. Do you think someone buying a 700k-1m property falls into that category?

They buy house were they like not neighbours and friends respect.Offices closed many work from home and many of them are sick of life in city apartments already. One of my friends IT bought 4 beds house on similar location on start of 2008 recession.He kept eye on it but could not afford it.Once company offered rent to buy scheme he was first beside this company door.He was doing very well during the recession and only the reason was leave this property was divorce.He simply went to USA California were continue live similar life style .

The_Conductor wrote: » Its over-supply in a particular segment of the market. However, this also tends to be the segment that is not as price sensitive as the mass-market houses. So- a 500k (10%) reduction on a property valued at 5m is not going to create a commensurate rise in demand that a 10% reduction in a property valued at 400k might.

awec wrote: » Why would anyone buy a 700k house (for example) on rent to buy. This would be absolutely daft. It is the worst of both worlds in the current climate. 1. You agree the purchase price today, so if prices do drop then tough luck, you agreed to buy at the higher price. 2. You agree on the rent today. Rent is higher than market rate rent to account for the fact that it also has to go toward buying the house. 3. If you decide not to purchase when the time comes, you walk away with absolutely nothing. If you cannot purchase when the time comes then the same outcome, you walk away with absolutely nothing. 4. Until you buy it, you have none of the security of home ownership. Rent to buy is geared toward people who are struggling to put together a deposit because they pay so much rent. The people struggling to put together deposits are not the people going out and spending 700k on a house.

The property prices started falling and lets see what gonna be next.There will be various options in future I am sure .The guy who bought the property signed contract with company All money he pay will go out of the property price After 1 year he will have to go to bank and ask for mortgage If bank say No,he simply signing another contract for another year with company and this would continue until the bank will give mortgage The bad thing if he will leave property the money he paid will never be returned Company could pay bills for building the property simply collecting the money from renters. Win-Win from all sides.
awec wrote: » I think you need to re-check your facts here. If all the money he pays goes against the property price, then the developer has essentially given your mate a mortgage with a 0% interest rate, and is losing a lot of money. There is no way this is happening. A developer builds a house, and is willing to wait an indefinite period of time before seeing any return whatsoever. Your mate is spoofing you.
