Yes it's sad .......
But the surveyor just got through valuing the house for the remortgage and has pegged it at £115K and as we paid £98K two years ago I'm fucking delighted.

I had visions of it hovering about the original purchase price - Granted I'm hardly Nicky Hoogstraten but that's really perked me up.

The credit crunch can suck a fart out of my arse!

good work
I dread getting my place revalued

we paid a buttload, have a massive mortgage, and despite us replacing all of the windows and exterior doors, and doing plenty of work inside, I'm afraid it might be worth the same we paid for it....

My house
has increased in value too. Not that I'll be moving soon anyway.

Muchas gracias Vipros.
This current climate had me worried but as you've done so much you might be surprised at the results. Fingers crossed.

I hope so
but you can never tell

to be honest I'd be happy if it'd increased just a few grand.

don't have to worry for about a year though

@swan_vesta/Vipros
I'm working on a model at the moment that's trying to put a bit of a more reasonable estimator on house price inflation / deflation in the residential mortgages market. It's too much of a crapshoot at the moment I'm afraid.

Sounds interesting Edmund
That's a fuck load of variables to consider though.

@Swan_Vesta
Interestingly, less than you might imagine. Got it down to 23 now...

I'm surprised its that few
Is it a national model or are you going to try and refine it to regional representations?

Sorry for being nosy, I get curious.
