45%~ drop in the number of properties for sale on Rightmove in my area
MattW replied to Kyouken's topic in Anecdotals
I had a Rightmove email update last week of 22 new properties matching my criteria. Seems like inventory is steadily increasing. -
Where should the House of Lords relocate to?
MattW replied to Will!'s topic in House prices and the economy
Washington. The one in the North of England not the USA state or conurbation. -
Great video.

Boris Johnson planning to bring back Right to Buy
MattW replied to Ignorantbliss's topic in House prices and the economy
Mostly flats are still available. Mostly houses got bought under RTB, like my late parents' council house 4 decades ago. -
BoE decision this week - predictions?
MattW replied to henry the king's topic in House prices and the economy
Voted 'up to 1%` but I hope I will be wrong and it will be up to 1.25%. There is some catching up to do. -

MattW replied to Kyouken's topic in Anecdotals
I have noticed the same in my part of Norfolk. I'm just looking at properties at the a**e end of the market under £200k. -
Bloody hell! Difficult to get a mortgage on them so quite why they can sell them for that much beggars belief. Very little coming onto the market where I live. Not that I'm eager to buy as I want to quit my job.

Student loan interest rates hit 12% this year
MattW replied to coypondboy's topic in House prices and the economy
I remember getting quite annoyed when it was announced 10 or 15 years ago that to become a nurse they need to get a degree. What on Earth was wrong with the training programme before? Was that training not up to scratch and only a degree qualification would address that or was it an underhand way to indebt more students? -

Buyer pulls out after asking for reduction on agreed price
MattW replied to Gurgle's topic in Anecdotals
This house close to me has just come back onto the market. It was previously marketed last summer for £180k. I assumed it had sold back then. Would actually suit me quite well (aside from the fake grass in the back garden) but £30k over my budget at present. House in Norfolk -
Buyer pulls out after asking for reduction on agreed price
MattW replied to Gurgle's topic in Anecdotals
Seems like the buyer was chancing their arm with the request for a reduction. It would be interesting to hear of some more anecdotals like this. -
I think the old Debenhams store local to me will be turned into residential. Six stories high apparently. The ground floor would make a good residential parking area with flats above, with the loading bay as an exit and entrance. However, it could be turned into student housing like a lot of other places nearby. It might force the sale of "The Young Ones" style student houses onto the housing market.

I'm glad at least one person noticed this deep within the bowels of the HPC subforums! -

MattW replied to Kyouken's topic in Anecdotals
There seems to be quite a bit more inventory this week. One or two I wouldn't actually mind going to view and a few £5k reductions on the asking price. -
48 years left on the lease.

45%~ drop in the number of properties for sale on Rightmove in my area
MattW replied to Kyouken's topic in Anecdotals
My search area is in Norfolk, more specifically in the city of Norwich. Unfortunately, my job is at risk in 2022 so I dare not seriously property hunt until I can secure alternative employment. Bog standard 2 bedroomed flats can reach £170k now in this area. Doesn't seem sustainable until salaries increase.
