Unfair First Time Buyer Scheme

[dilligaf]

Diligaf - reread my first post? I'm not complaining - I feel like i'm in the clover, just at the expense of some poor kid who can't get started. I tried to explain why some people here wanted an investigation.

The house cost me more than the figure I read somewhere on the thread, but as a general rule don't tend to give out my financials/bank account/sort code on the internet.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but, if the Gov. give you 30% or whatever it was, towards the purchase price and say that when you sell the house they want that % back, it that not reasonable ?

It is in my eyes.

PS, our daughter would love to get the same deal you got, but can't.

Notwell - my position is very happy i have my own house and not wanting to move to make a quick buck, therefore not a greedy greedy bastard a la Sultanofsheight's view.

Yes. But put some context to your argument. Figures please.

Registry records I googled show that 42 Harcroft Meadows sold for £70,500 on 26/06/2001 so I'm not that far out on the numbers at all. Those houses have made shit loads since they were built.

So what was the deal? 30% grant from the government?

I don't think you're stupid. And I'm sorry about your daughter, but I don't believe she'd be happy with the scheme we got compared to the scheme now and before our's.

 

I have no idea of the price of my house, because I'm not selling it. Does that make me greedy? greedy for not moving up the ladder and leaving an 'affordable' ( if you can call the housing market affordable ) house, greedy for selling to move up the ladder! damned if I do, damned if I don't? I'm not religious, but this must be what catholics feel like.

Yes. So 30% of £70,500 is £21,150 which might have been the grant. What's a house there worth now? About £275,000? So the 30% pay back if you move is £82,500. It's not bad for an interest free loan over 15 years on an asset that has gone up nearly 400%. Moaning fuckers.

Agreed. A small mortgage at the outset and even if they sold and repaid perhaps 180 k of equity to play with. All gifted. I got fucking no help buying and have the debts to prove it.

You are moaning about your perception of the raw deal you got compared to someone else. When you actually got a great and free deal.

That's what I don't get in this. It's "unfair" as apparently nobody got free money. So they actually have to keep owning a house rather than cashing out.

Wow. Hat's off to no. 42 - I didn't pay that little or get that much of a grant. And worth £275,000 you reckon? Fucking hell. No wonder the market is in a shit state.

You got well fucked over mate, better sue the government for giving you free money to make a 400% return on.

FFS!!!! for the last time, I am not moaning! I tried to explain why people are unhappy about the deal they got on the scheme. I know I got a great deal, as detailed in my opening post - grateful everyday. But I'm not looking to move on, or make a killing at the gov's expense to be in effect homeless. My position - not a greedy greedy bastard.
