Haven't used mine for a few weeks; I noticed it needed dusting the other day. Now you've reminded me I might go out on it in the morning.

I've had a giant east end breakfast (at 2pm) and then come back and had a nap on the sofa with the football on. MAN THINGS.

No point in looking seriously until date announced. Just need to look to get an idea of prices. Roughly a grand pcm in Leyton. I can just about cover that. Still gonna be broke day to day though. Utterly miserable about the whole thing.

Spend £600 a month of your savings. £7200 a year. Do that for two years and you'll still have over £100k in savings.

Balanced portfolio, should do quite well. Our balanced aggressive portfolio has done 17% over the last year and 66% over the last five years. Put the full limit in, you should make about 6k over the next two years. Only way to keep up with house prices innit.

It's highly unlikely you'd lose everything, balanced means your portfolio would have a mix of equities and fixed interest stocks. When one of those asset types goes up the other goes down.
Portfolio means diversification; anyone investing in just one fund is a fucking spastic. You'd be going in to about 12 funds within the ISA wrapper, how likely do you think it would be that all 12 would lose value? There ent no reward without risk, two years might be dodgy under normal circumstances, but if you invested now it would be just as performance is picking up and the unit prices are fairly low.
Keep it in cash and it'll lose value. Inflation is, what, about 3%? You need to be getting 5 or 6% to be making any returns, and you can only get that level of growth from residential property or from equities. You've just come out of property, you need to get into equities through ISA funds.
Go and see an IFA innit. Different funds have different levels of risk. Depends how much risk you're willing to take.

He is NOT financial advisor.

And financial promotions is not the same as proof reading. I have to know how everything works. I have CII investment qualifications an' all.
But that up there is all true. Which part of that 'small a' advice is incorrect?

If he puts the balance in the same funds but via an OEIC then he gets the same growth but taxed.
The keeping up with house prices thing referred to 5 or 6% growth, not the cash growth. I assume Monty wants to buy again. If he does then his capital needs to grow at the same or faster rate than property does.

When I said it's the only way to keep up with house prices, I meant investing as opposed to cash. ISAs are your best option. Bang the balance in the same funds but via OEICs and transfer the max from the OEIC to an ISA each year. Cash is a waste of money.
