So your UK is full of folk prepared to pay whatever the LL asks even if thats 25% more than last year just so they can live in "fairly white" town.
I recognise the group and am happy to say that during my lifetime their number and proportion grows ever smaller. Both the younger generations and those like me who've lived a lifetime in cities and elsewhere in the world would pay more not to live next to the folk who still think that way. Happily we are increasingly the ones with the most dosh.
Things change slowly. But they change.
Everyone think this. Then you have kids.

We already subsidise housing, through housing benefit. This has proved to be horribly inefficient, with most of the cash going into the pockets of private landlords and the cost of housing spiralling out of control.
And this will get worse, as private sector tenants inevitably retire and can no longer afford to rent.
Building council housing is a one off investment that will pay off in the long run by reducing the ongoing housing benefit bill.
You’re in profit before you’ve even considered the massive boost to the economy once people no-longer have to support the huge burden of feckless landlords.
Do these social houses maintain themselves now? How many people in social houses truly look after them?
In a row of terraces you can normally spot the social tenant before even stepping inside.

another buy, paint and flip and "make" 475in a year

The house didn't even need doing up, some paint to taste and a bit of laminate is now worth £450k! It's amazing homebase went out of business with costs like that

Posted this one in the NW thread, but worth putting in here as I think it has a lot further to drop

24/10 300k
08/11 OIEO 290k
23/11 OIEO 275k
Some movement in less than one month! Looks like some new carpets and some letters on the wall from B&M don't quite constitute a £120k price increase in one of the most depraved areas of the north west.

An idea brought to you by people who have never heard of factory workers, call centre workers, delivery drivers, etc.

I've recently had my first at 31 and can see why a lot of people don't / put it off.
- Houses prices are sky high
- If you went to uni, and contribute to your pension you give away half your salary each month, only to live in a house in a rough area next to someone who doesn't give a ******.
- You have to move to work / live, you lose that family support.
Oh well, at least the government gives me back £15~ per week of the £900 I give them. It's a great trade.

300k hahaha. Statement wall(paper) and vertical radiator from screwfix. Some big silver letters mounted on the wall.
Max for that road is 250k. The most recent property to sell on that road (2017, detached) went for the princely sum of £120k!
10k knocked off already. Colour me surprised.

Another great one, in Wigan certainly added £125k to it with a few new carpets and a luck of paint.

I think Sale has just gone tbh, a lot of the area is not that desirable (including where I live) and the prices are just completely unjustifiable. Looking at 3 beds and the results are just total nonsense.
Minging 3 bed (ex council?) semi, no where near the tram, OIEO 300k please!

Sale, specifically Sale Moor still continues to be absolutely mental. In a small drawn area I have on rightmove it is showing 26 properties for sale, but 68 if you include STC.
Even areas around and behind the high school are selling quickly at ridiculously high prices. Mad!

What on earth is going on for Sale at the moment? The prices are utterly ridiculous, even in the less desirable parts around the sale moor/wythenshawe border.
Small 2 beds, are being listed at £200k+. Who is paying this?
To buy or to wait in Manchester?
in England - North West

Looks like this one has been on the market for a while, and will do for a while longer I expect

Doesn't exactly help when your neighbour has been on the market for 9 months and already knocked £40k off the asking price!

WTF are these people thinking, even in Sale these prices are utter madness. These are on a main road, next to a loony bin and Northern Moor!
