The is no word for 'pantihose' in Swahili.

No shortage of £1m ex council houses/flats. This is from Moneywise 2017... In Hackney, in east London, ex-council houses in Shepherdess Walk that were bought through Right to Buy for £171,000 was sold for £1 million in 2014. In nearby Islington, in north London, a flat in Middlesex Street was bought for £125,000 and sold for £1.4 million in 2016.

I'm surprised the landlord hasn't metered the water, and installed a time lock on the toilet, to discourage excessive flushing. Tenants would be encouraged to urinate etc at work or elsewhere outside the landlord's property.

Great program. Recommended watch for everyone on here.

Looks like it's cottage pie again....

I can see a lot of foreign folk now pausing about buying that high end property in London and sending their offspring to our elite schools. London HPI used to pay for the toffsprings' education over the long term. So how is this going affect expensive property prices in London?

I would imagine other major legacy beneficiaries (Cancer Research; RSPCA) etc are feeling the pinch as well. Just a thought, but if EA's didn't so absurdly overvalue, wouldn't houses sell more quickly and Probate go through in less time?

Buying new means you don't find other people's toenail clippings in the carpets..

'Consumer positivity' = Delusional Greed.

Careful when buying! Dealers will often pull the wool over your eyes...
