Let's assume the buyers needed 150k for 300 and 180k for the higher price. The difference in interest alone is in the tens of thousands of pounds without even considering the 30k extra capital to pay it off. Bank made a mint. quote:It's especially hard to see how it could be rigged in the case of an inheritance because the valuation of the house has to be accepted by HMRC - they need it to determine whether the appropriate inheritance tax has been paid.

I never said Labour would win the election. I think Labour will get a similar percentage of the vote to Miliband. Which is obviously not the best place for them to be, given that wasn't a winning percentage, and that was before the Tories got the UKIP vote, but it's hardly indicative of an endemic lack of support for left wing policies. You never said until now you don't do them, you said you never had.

jBrereton posted:It's categorically true based on my own experience, which is of multiple surveyors being called in by buyers and banks who had a different opinions of what a property was worth. Last house my folks sold was listed at about 300 by the estate agents, got run up to 320 by another surveyor, and finally sold for 330 once the bidding was done. Now that's a huge difference in long term earnings for a bank charging 6% on a mortgage. Thanks for the anecdote

I received two pieces of political literature today: one from the local labour candidate and the other from the Theresa May party. I don't think the labour candidate will win she looks like a dinner lady.

I inagine that the thought process behind a lot of these bewildering tory manifesto promises is not "this is a vote winner people will like" but rather "this is hateful poo poo people will detest, but we're tory cunts and we desperately want to do it, and we can probably sneak them in because nobody will vote for Corbyn". Then they can turn around in 3 years and be all "hey quit crying about the erosion of civil liberties, the people voted for it!".

LemonDrizzle posted:Also, the median property wealth of all households is only £50k, and that of households where the head is above retirement age is below £100k, so if granny owns outright a property worth £150k, she is pretty deep into the top half of the property wealth range. Yes, but in a lot of families it is only the old people who own houses. It is their families, not the old people, this policy takes houses away from.

I would be cautiously pessimistic about Labour's recent improved polling. As Stephen Bush puts it: http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/june2017/2017/05/unnoticed-and-unreported-jeremy-corbyn-surging-pollsquote:In 2015, there were two mysteries about the polls. The first was the large number of Labour voters saying that they would vote Labour but they didn’t want Ed Miliband in Downing Street or Ed Balls at the Treasury. The second was how to reconcile the polls with Labour’s weak performance in local elections in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. As I tweeted on the night of the European elections, they were the performance of an opposition heading for the knacker’s yard, not Downing Street. I don't see any reason why this doesn't remain true in 2017 and I'd be steeling for a national share that's more like 27-28 than 30-32.

So many people in this thread fixated on how their inheritance will secure their future so long as it's not snatched away, like they're characters in a Victorian novel or something. The familial and legal machinations around a senile relative's death and the conflict over whether their fortune goes to their children or the State would actually make for a cracking 19th century plot. I think Wilkie Collins would be the best author, providing he could stay off the drugs for 5 minutes straight.
