I object to some of your comments Neil. Others are reasonable/understandable. However I would counter with why don't you try living as a homeowner, then you wouldn't have to put up with all this. Since you are a working professional...

Labour should not be interfering (again)! If they want to have us provide three year terms then start with the BTL mortgage companies T&Cs, then give us the OPTION to offer three year terms BUT we MUST retain the ability...

Sure will Mark. Actually had a look with my son and we've been trying to get my Samsung Android device to use Chrome instead of the default browser. Not sure we managed to do it but when I view this...

Lease Options, How Do They Work?

12th December 2013, 12 years ago

A couple of questions. 1. Who paid/who charged £50k for such a course? That is outrageous! 2. Who are the "gurus" that have already "gone to the wall" whilst the interest rates (base rate that is) is just one half...
