Daily Express front page- take a guess..
Horridbloke replied to moonriver's topic in House prices and the economy
A while ago somebody here posted a sizeable mosaic of the express's "HOUSE PRICE SOARS!" front pages. The fact they keep getting away with it is a damning indictment of their regular readers. -
So if we buy now we'll be impoverishing the seller? I would feel terrible about that - really awful.

Cheerful news on the telly.
Horridbloke replied to Bruce Banner's topic in House prices and the economy
They're dropping in this south coast university town - looks like some student landlords are giving up (always a giveaway when the lounge is described as "bedroom 4"). Saw the first sub-200k house matching my Rightmove search for a couple of years this week. -
Will the official retirement age soon be 75
Horridbloke replied to shlomo's topic in House prices and the economy
At what point does retirement age bump up against an average person's ability to do their a job? -
The industry already tries that via TRIAD charges for times of winter peak demand. Our workplace gets internally-sourced notifications to not use the lifts or make tea between about 4 and 6pm on the days in question.

"FTB and key workers to get 30% on new homes"
Horridbloke replied to Watkins's topic in House prices and the economy
It's potentially worse than that. For a thirty percent "discount" to return a price to its current level the "undiscounted" price would have to rise by 43 percent. -
Sudden influx of VI's on the boards?
Horridbloke replied to highcontrast's topic in House prices and the economy
Why would/do VIs bother posting on here? Don't get me wrong, I agree a HPC would be a very good thing, for me personally and for the UK in general. I have lurked around here for a good number of years now and occasionally post but we really aren't important. I cannot believe that posts on the level of "cant loose on houses your or loosers lol" or "prices wil definitely fall by 60 percent by end of year" actually has a measurable effect on the market.
