All millionaires here. No questions asked

Moneyweek's John Stepek looks at the latest house price indices and argues that, with increasing economic strength, lots of competition between banks & interest rates being kept low is it any surprise at all that house prices are rising?

Another check in to see if the much promised retaliation for Section 24, tenant fees ban, etc is materialising. No reply from ARLA about why the figures are wrong or if the are right, when the now pent up price increases are going to burst through.

BoE suggests that artificially low interest rates, typically associated with misallocations of capital culiminating in recessions as grand plans exceed real savings, points out that their artificially low interest rates -may- cause a baby boom in the UK! As couples may misunderstand how much capital is available for their additional child presumably and then no .. sell that empty mall mum! No mention sadly of couples forgoing additional children because they can't afford somewhere to live with them. Sensibly Torygraph kept the comments turned off.

The UK's second biggest housing firm does not have an agreed minimum standard for all the homes it builds, an independent report has found. When the government makes a policy to throw money at a sector, should it not add checks and balances in place ?

I wonder if this effect will be present in the UK, but you could also put this in the same box as those speculating that the global debt ponzi will fall in on itself because eventually we are all saturated with debt etc etc. House prices in the UK are different because they are ultimately always underpinned by housing benefit (unless we run out of claimants )

Its not the first fund, but seems the like dominoes are starting to fall. The numbers are not small and are in the billions
