To go back to your original gripe, about a house sale and ****rs coming to view. What role does an Estate Agent play in this? Sounds like they were sending over people for viewings who would never want it (because not enough space to park several Range Rover Sports or whatever). Sounds just as much like the agent was playing a game to force you to drop the price? Seen it before where they over-value to get the business, then play games to get the seller to drop the price if it doesn't shift, then it gets sold.sinker said:I haven't moaned about my own kids.

Those poor saps. A young couple, with a budget of only ?450,000, looking for a fixer-upper in Fulwood. Hahahahah. There's plenty for that money.

Fjell said:The penny that is slowly dropping is that if you have kids then you have to pass on the house value or they will fall backwards. That means you can't actually spend it in your old age, it is just held in trust. All those prices increases were pointless. Japan has multi-generational mortgages, and the UK is just started going down that road. Inheritance tax is the third rail in the UK, it evokes primal fear that it would apply to the majority.

People think it's just "the rich" that get stung by it but these days with house prices, you can easily find an estate going over the threshold if you're not mindful of it. Since we've mentioned Ranmoor and property, my Gran owns a very nice 5-bed semi there close to the parks that's been home since well before I was born, and a few years ago she looked at its value and considered what would happen to her children if she died suddenly. She went for equity release (in the form of an interest-only mortgage) to reduce the value of the property and hence the net value of the estate, and I guess that will be continued if the term is up while she's still with us.
