I just got a sub 2.5% interest remortgage deal, without any stupid flopping about with current accounts or any other stupid crap.
There's 100 quid a month back in my pocket. Can't do that with rent or a sofa.

I'm not saying it's not financially clever.
I'm saying a mortgage is the same as any other debt. It's a debt.

I suppose the only way it's different is that if you need to pay it off, all you have to do is sell the house?

If you need to pay off the loan on anything else, you can sell that too.

Few other assets increase in value as quickly as property though.

valid point, but I'd argue there's still a lot of people in deep shit becuase they made that very assumption
and it turned out to not be true.

fair enough,
It is a debt, but as said above most other things that you do get in credit do not hold their value.
Cars are a prime example, depreciation is a bitch.

This is very true
but, I'd argue assuming that your house will appreciate is dangerous, as a lot of people are currently discovering. They won't always.
