Who wins the prize for the LOWEST Mumsnet mortgage?

[Rhubarb]

None! Can't afford one.

Am I jealous of those on THAT other thread with mortgages of £200k - NO!

Oh but I wish I had a nice big house!

rhubs, I hope that you mean per month?!?

actully thats not true, its £260 a month

FIL got given £5000 by his mum and he nearly bought an aston martin or something with it, but he put it down for a house. Was a £20,000 mortgage. He died about 3 months after paying it off, and it the house's very very delapidated state it is worth £200,000. What gets me though is he spent about 6/7 times that on cars he never drove, bikes he never rode, over 200 model aeroplanes but always moaned about paying off the mortgage. I wish I had a £20,000 mortgage! He never worked either, he could have worked in Tesco's even just for 18 months and payed it off

aeroplanes???

airplanes.

airplanes? That doesn't look right Someone come and correct me xXx

Oops, sorry no that is per month, for both amounts!

I really would win the "Which MNer has the highest rent" wouldn't I?

thankgod for that rhubarb

at 450 a week, you really would be in the custard!

[hangs head in shame... but still giggles]

Tutter - hope the firm's paying!!!!

er, no rhuby

Quootie - you were right first time - airplane is American

it's not, 40+

but luckily we sold our last house for £lots so we're getting £lots in interest each month

Tutter - best hang on till after the crash, then

Me, too! Can't afford anything to buy so mortgage-free here!

we don't qualify for a mortgage so its not like we are even allowed!!!

Zero here too, infact don't pay rent either at the mo which oddly enough I hate, makes me feel like a scrounger.

My mortgage is for £20,000 and house valued at 190,000. We pay it weekly £31 per week. We bought the house almost 3 years ago and paid £140,000 for it

are you in a council house nutcracker?

when we first got ours they told us because DF was on a low wage we would be rent free too, i felt awful (silly i know)

so i was actully relieved(!) when they told us it was a mistake and we were to pay full rent

how daft is that?!

Rent £505/month.

Council tax £134/month but will rise 5% in April.

I think our current mortgage is about £450 total (can't remember) but we are about to buy another house and it will be well over £200k so things will change for us pretty soon - supposed to exchange today.

nutcracker - don't feel guilty. I've never received any benefits (apart from Child Benefit) but would not begrudge them to those who need them for one second
