BBC news: High cost of living proves costly for flat buyers
Best line here: "Once the market picks up, we want to move". Best get settled then - you'll have a looong wait.

People are so stoopid! Don't they realise that 'if' the market picks up for them, it will pick up for everyone else - there is no gain, only relative increases in indebtedness.

i dont think thats the issue, they probably mean pick up enough to take them out of negative equity, but like the other guy said they will be waiting a good decade for that to happen probably and even then it wont be through asset appreciation but through having paid enough of the original mortgae off

"We have a gym and a concierge, security cameras and a management agent to look after things." Look, it's shiny! New builds... An estate of 10 buildings giving the population density of Mumbai, complete with cereal box walls to bring the soothing sounds of neighbours' washing machines and cupboard doors, someone else's taste in music from another building, train engines from the adjacent track, boy racers between the buildings, build quality to rival aforementioned cereal boxes. New born slums.
