This house in Britain costs more than $1.5 million

These prices are absurd, aren't they?
:(

Yes they are, and why a lot of people are buying homes further and further away from the city, where homes are STILL expensive but not absurdly so. There is no way of buying a house with savings alone anymore, so the question is mortgaging vs. renting.

 

Also Alpha... houses aren't that cheap in Hargeisa either, so get outta here with that $10k. That won't even cover land there.

LOL saaxib....renting is a much better option than buying. Unless you want to live in Hooya's house for several years, save up your money, borrow some money from your Uncle's, sell your car, cat, clothes, books, TV's, and then purchase your house...

 

I don't think many people would wanna do that. So renting seems much better

why is renting better bro? what if your landlord wants you out?

:D

my cousin thought he was smart when he decided to take a mortgage out on one of those 'key housing' affordable housing schemes. 6 months in, he lost his job. he defaulted, apparently. he thought he could cash-in on the New Labour property bubble.

 

as for SOL being full of broke folks, wa ruunta. do we even know their credit rating, horta?

It's not rich, that's life in qurbaha and the expenses associated with the cost of living here. Have you forgotten?

You sound like a Bougie Broad! Spent 10k on cherry hardwood floors and 40k on new kitchen cabinets with marble counters etc.

When topics are being discussed on public forums try to not personalize it, try to not make it about you (ex. I am phd student, the school you go to, how much you make, posting pictures of your family etc..) debate/discuss on issues without all that.

 

And yes, I agree with you; it's matter of becoming a renter for life or getting a mortgage, because not too many people have large sum of money sitting around somewhere.

What are you talking about? I've said I'm a grad student and posted baby pictures before, and there's nothing wrong with that. I've never said how much I make (why would I, when I'm a broke student) or where I go to school. What I did here is give a sense of expenses where my parents live, after Alpha made a comment asking why people don't buy in cash and later stated that $10k is enough in his area (which isn't even enough to buy a home in Hargeisa). If that makes you uncomfortable, ignore it, but don't tell me what I should or shouldn't post.

@Saffz,

 

inabti,

 

BIG respect to you. this Oiler is jealous of 'our' online saxibtinimo. halka ka sii wad. ;);)

 

@Oiler aka Saalidle.

 

kulaha 'Oiler'. bal adna, ya? what sort of name is 'Oiler'. caajib. balayo ku saalideyso eh.

 

abti saalida iska badal, ma garatay? wa iga talo.

 

p.s - houses do cost $10k. some are even less. i'm talking about normal houses not some qurbo-joogian mashruuc.
