FCMR Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 . Have you ever met a poor property developer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> FCMR?....The Neddies?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes those that build Houses for the Neddies at less that £60k each, how come the ex CM could not get houses built for FTBs at the same price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 ... how come the ex CM could not get houses built for FTBs at the same price <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cruel lack of DTL grants for FTBs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTool Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 You lot are lucky at least you have a house, i wish i could afford a house, instead i am living in a shoe box on top of a nutter. A house these days is too much of a money making thing and not a home, i want to buy 1 house and live me days there not play about moving every 2 years in the dream of making a mint. Count your blessings i would be if i was you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariel Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 wish I'd never got off the ladder, I would gladly buy my dream 2/3 bed flat or house in Douglas rather than stretch myself for more, but unfortunately I cannot realistically now afford to even buy a slum.... *me saving up hard and hope to maybe re-enter buying some doss premises in 5 years of so* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 The big problem about coming off the ladder, either because you couldn't keep up payments, or because you split up with your partner, or whatever is that you're then not eligable for the first time buyers scheme any more.

Addie Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Is that absolutely correct Slim? Someone once told me that as a previous couple that applied, but as a single the rules allowed reapplication in certain circumstances. You'll know more than I on this I'm sure, Slim, but worth checking out anyway Ariel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
