We all know that house prices are at a ridiculous all time high, and even couples who both work, find it hard to get on the property ladder. For years now they have been recommending inflated figures to boost their commision levels. It was estate agents who decided what council tax band your property should come under, which has resulted in many people paying more council tax than they should. I phoned my council and was told the work was contracted out to estate agents and they stood at the end of the road and Guessed the worth of all the houses including mine. I wonder how much that cost the taxpayer.Their earnings are a closely guarded secret and is it any wonder. They are not accountable to anyone and continue to make a fortune from selling houses.

I have a house and have bought a new one and they said they could part exchange the house for me. Is it worth it, if you sell your house yourself you get 10K off the house, but my selling costs are around £6k anyway. What do you think?? Is it a con? The builder's is Bryant (quite a reputable company)

The boilerplate "Here's our offer -- contingent on a satisfactory home inspection" seems a little odd when even our own thoroughly amateur inspection reveals problems.

Given the location, general structure, location, fairly reasonable price, location, design, etc, we're fine with knowing we'll have to get new windows (etc, etc) put in.

But. Low-ball on the price, noting the visible flaws which led to that low offer, and make it contingent on no other problems turning up?

Or, regular offer, contingent on 'satisfactory' inspection, and assume tons of negotiations to follow?

Or, another route I'm not thinking of? For the first option, I'm assuming the services of a home inspector/lawyer might be useful to detail said visible flaws. We can notice "antique" (I am being charitable) windows, but not rot around same that would make replacement more expensive, for example.

What I mean is if I made a payment in certified funds, can the landlord hold that until the FULL payment is made in certified funds.
(example I paid $1000, he keeps it and wants $1500 before he gives back $1000) Also can he still charge late fees?

I thought that if they accepted a payment they couldn't still charge late fees.

I had a situation where they sent a repair guy to my house and when the guy got done fixing the problem he wanted to get paid, they sent him out without a work order and of course couldnt be reached while the guy was there. Then wanted me to submit my receipt so they could reimburse me. When I deducted the amount from my rent they said Im in default. I think they probably billed the owner too. Pretty shady outfit in my opinion.

I feel as if my entire life is crumbling around me. I was just notified today that even though I tried to get caught up on my second mortgage that the bank is starting forclosure action anyway, after takeing several payments from me. My husband just found out that his drivers license has been suspended for three months. I can't afford to pay car insurance, medical insurance so I have neither. Now I am worried that I will lose my home on top of everything else. What will I do, where will we all live. If it was just me, I wouldn't be so worried. I have two teenagers who I must have shelter for. My credit score is so bad that I'm worried if I lose my house I would not even be approved to get an apartment. On top of everything else I found out that we owe the IRS 6K in back taxes, which must be paid by the end of the month. Hah! Someone please tell me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that it's not going to be a train.

I am in new jersey, I recently backed out a house purchasing contract after attorney review. However, the reason for backing out is that the owner failed to disclose that they do not have permit for the finished basement, although they have started applying for the permit after contract was signed, it is highly unlikely that the closing will happen before the date we agreed on due to the pending basement inspection. On time closing is very critical for me. If they had told me the permit issue, my decision to purchase the house would be different.

In 2008 I am looking to buy property (I'm currently renting). Do you think it is wise to buy my first property as an investment property (2 / 3 flat building) opposed to buying a town home?
