Well done. I hope you get the place at a price you can afford and below the land registry reality index. Keep up the good work. if the chap above had any brain/balls he'd be viewng housings in london and using phrases like: "You must be ****ing jokin". and "Are you taking the Pi**" and "Don't you know there has been a collapse in house prices/lending" and lasly. "Do you know what delusion is?"

Dont rents only ever go up so they can give a fantastic retirement to those savvy enough to invest in BTLs ?

That's the delusional part !!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion "A delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.[1] " You are a bored EA troll and I claim my £100000 pounds ( it;s used to be £10 but then the BoE got involed ). Who remembers 2007 with ramping articles in the papers saying how the average london property would be worth £1,000,00 0 in 15 years....then it all collapsed. Welcome back to 2007.

Is not here, where ? The housing market has been dropping nicely over the last 3-4 years, but the last 12 months seem to have given those sellers who missed the boat on 2007, 2010 some hope. it pains me to watch listing after listing of utter crap added to rightmove at asking prices that make 2007 prices look reasonable. I'd like to leave, but there are no jobs in europe, there are no jobs here to be honest.

if inflation goes down, they will print. If inflation goes up, they will print. If inflation stays the same, the will print. They will keep printing until they are forced to stop. How an unelected body of ex-bankers and supposed experts can have such a large say on the UKs finances and productivity is way beyond me.

Will this speed up the UK's inevitable downgrade ?

Spot on. I nearly started a little business in northampton 4 years ago, the thing that stopped me dead in my track the business rates. It's stifling productivity. It's just another way for the councils to feather their own nests.

Excellent value, someone on say, 30K a year could easilly afford that. 30K a year being, what, a low salary in the UK ?

A ferarri is a luxury item, they will always milk the idiots with money. A house, for most, is a necessity. Your argument is flawed.

I would do, if you could get hold of a decent plot of land, never mind a decent plot of land that is affordable. P.S. And how many of the "Grand Design" forvery homes have we seen on sale over the last 4 years ?

£95K for that...in Caerphilly...are you as mad as everyone else ( laughs hysterically )

Wait till April

Ahhh, the land owning minority and their propoganda. AkA, the squealing pigs.

P.s. I challenge anyone to show me a decent priced house on rightmove at the moment. Something that really constitues value for money. I can show you plenty that are at the other end of the spectrum.

I am sure they are..but the bankers know...and the EA's know. They really have left themselves open to a lot of mis-selling accusations in the coming years.

Don't start me on business rates...massive hidden taxation on consumers. I also found out that many of the business units are council own and they set the rents at crippling levels. Yes again, another massive hidden consumer tax. My tax liability is 60-70% of my incomey. The 30% I do get has to go on housing and food and the banks steal the rest via inflation. There is no point trying to exist in the UK again more.

Oh-Oh.

Good luck with that. I hope you found someone who is living in 2004 ( beter still, 2002 ).

Just went through every house in every area that I might want to live in in England, literally thousands of houses. To say the market is full of over-priced s**t is an understatement. I found 0 houses I thought were anything near good value or would be remotely interested in living in. These are 2007 prices + some ( a lot ). Who in their right mind are buying these things.... Savvy cash buyers I think not, illeterate numpties maxing out the 0% interest rates....perhaps....No-one...more likely. We must be about to see the market fall off a cliff, I can't imagine anyone a) Can Afford to buy at the given asking prices even with 0% BoE interest rates b-) Are that safe in their job they think it's a great idea to take on 200K-500K of debt c) Are that stupid. The next few months are going to be very interesting.

Now they want to sell the roads instead of taxing the one wealth generator that they should, i.e. house value. The day the road tolls come in is the day after I drive my car to the ferry and over to the continent, never to return. I did a post a while back about tax. It's shocking how much we pay, it must be close to 60 or 70% of your income.

I bought this year!!!! Feel free to join in, in the style of....I'm spartacus.

Man who relies on house sales says house prices only ever go up. I think i've heard this s**t before.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-15907249 "Chancellor George Osborne will unveil credit easing schemes to release up to £40bn in loans to small firms when he delivers Tuesday's autumn statement. Under one plan, the government would underwrite banks' borrowing so they could pass on cheaper loans to firms turning over less than £50m"

We havea winner

Sky Sources: HSBC will not be participating in government credit easing scheme What does that mean for house prices.....
