We lived in a new build mid terrace built in 2016 when the neighbour pulled their curtains it was like they were in our living room so you can imagine what it was like when their dog barked. The properties were built to building reg standards but the sound insulation for new builds isn't great. The property we live in now is a new build (detached we couldn't do terraced or semi any more after our last experience) not bad insulation (keeps the heat in) but we can hear EVERYTHING that everyone is doing in the property and I mean EVERYTHING there's no privacy! I honestly don't know how people live in terraces/semis with neighbours music/tv/drum kits/guitars/hot tubs/bars in the garden/trampolines etc..
I have lived in new build Flats with excellent sound insulation. In my last one built 2016 my neighbour had a baby that cried and screamed a lot , he often apologised to me about the situation and was astounded when I said I had only heard the baby once or twice. However I have heard from other people in new build flats that they can hear everything from other flats. The sound insulation must vary from different quality in the builds.
I now live in a 1930's terrace house and the sound insulation is awful I can hear a lot from next door and I am very aware that they will have the same issue with noise from me. Recently I was sleeping in my back bedroom when the guy next door who was in his front bedroom coughed I would have sworn he was in the same room as me. While my brother lives in a 1930's terrace with excellent sound insulation so again it must vary on the quality of the build not the date of build.

I know people older than 40 still living at home.
I popped back home for a short while at 49 (quite difficult) my family had lived in the house for decades so many people in the location knew us and knew I was back home. More than a few spoke to my Dad relating other people who had 40+ off spring that had returned I was not the only one. One lady a few streets away had two adult children who had returned.

New immigrants tend to fill the housing stock domestic households avoid and due to lack of resources or perceved options means they end up invariably in slum accomodation that nobody else wants.
Pop on youtube and look for the homeless temporary/substandard housing vids. You will see many Brits living in the housing you accuse them of avoiding and housing that nobody else wants.

Mortgages were introduced in the 70s proper, emmigration outpaced immigration in the 70s... avg house prices quadrupled. It sinks your argument.
LOL.
Mortgages were around long before the 70's.
House prices quadrupled in £ note terms but not in real terms as inflation coupled with wage inflation was very high in the 70's.
Not that you will read this as you have blocked me but your the one with the stinky argument.

There were huge amounts of people who overpaid for flats in London using 40% on the help to buy scheme.
When they come to sell they will need to find buyers who can afford the prices without using help to buy, which means far fewer people than those who have already bought.
There are huge amounts of flats still being built all over London the prices the developers are asking don't seem to have dropped that much but are they selling? Who is going to buy them ?
One thing I have noticed is the amount of developments now pushing part buy part rent.

If tomorrow banks offered only 3x earnings on new and remortgages would house prices rise when the next batch of immigrants arrived or prices fall?
If banks offered 10X earnings on mortgages the price would not rise if there was no demand.

You're part of the demand even if you're renting.
+1
And even if the tax payer is paying your rent.

I'm constantly amazed at the number of otherwise sensible people who think that more people existing and wanting to buy a house will suddenly mean they all magically somehow have the ability to pay even more money for one.
Who said they all pay?
There are many people having their housing costs paid for by the tax payer. The more people the higher the demand the higher the costs. So the tax payer just stumps' up more money. This is evident with how much housing benefit costs have increased and right now with the home office outbidding paying people to secure housing to move Asylum Seekers out of Hotels, the costs are rising those Asylum Seekers have not got any money but their demand is being met with tax payers money.
I don't know how many times this has been explained to people on this forum yet otherwise sensible people cannot understand it.

No it is a fact that people like yourself cannot understand.
28 minutes ago, Habeas Domus said:Ask yourself this question: when we have had previous drops in house prices in 1990 and 2008 was it because a few million people spontaneously decided to leave the country or was it due to changes in the availability and price of credit?
No it was because the prices had inflated to beyond what those in the market could pay. If a few million people had spontaneously decided to leave the country the drops would have been bigger. Quite simple.

Does someone want to try and explain how an asylum seeker puts up a house price in England when they don't have funds to support themselves?
Oh FFS you posted the same question yesterday and I answered you why do you post the same crap again?
All extra demand for housing will have an upward impact on prices. The Asylum Seeker won't be paying for their accommodation the Tax Payer will.

Also why are you going on about asylum in relation to house prices - asylum seekers aren't buying houses when haven't got a pot to piss in mostly.
Quite simple they might not have a pot to piss in so they will housed at the Tax Payers expense. Someone else will be buying or have bought those houses that the Asylum Seekers live in due to the demand from Asylum Seekers. All demand will have an impact on prices.

I have never shut him down, I only respond to him in a range of 1 in 3 of his posts, whereby using the reward/punishment mechanism decreases his xenophobia and move him towards a good citizen
Oh wow first it was Racism you accused me off now you have been tackled on it you have watered it down to Xenophobia LOL. You reply to most of my posts not 1 in 3.
Who are you to set the standard for who is a good citizen or not?

It is money that makes the UK such a wonderful place, nothing to do with culture
London is one of the financial centres of the world, it is not culture, if something were to happen to change this you would realise how bankrupt western culture is

It is not possible to have a debate with you, as you are just argumentative no wonder your workplace got rid of you.
LOL.
I asked you a few simple questions and you give back that. It does really prove that you don't know what your talking about you know immigration has got totally out of control but you won't admit it will you.

I was being sarcastic, I think we should cap immigration at 250-300K per year, the numbers we are getting are ridiculous
Why is that the magic number for you? Why would that amount of people be right? It seems that you have just plucked a figure out of the air, you have admitted that we now have a ridiculous amount of people entering the UK yet just come up with a lower random number as to how much we should have.

Then we need more immigrants, Long Covid has broken the human spirit people are just giving up
Lol and there it is " we need more immigrants" how many times have I heard it and my reply is the more immigrants we have the more we need it is a never ending increasing circle.
Can you tell me you say Long Covid has broken the human spirit people are just giving up how many people have given up? Then number two how many of those people who have given up are part of the influx that we have had over the last 20 years? Immigrants were vulnerable to Covid and Long Covid like everyone else how many of them are effected by it?
Things are not working with an increase of 10 million people how many more do we need to make things work? Don't know how many times I have asked the same question and still no one ever gives a number they will just give excuses and reasons why we need more and more and more.

Next you will say you believe in the 'Great replacement theory'
I just cannot see where you are coming from
" You cannot see where I am coming from" !
We keep being told we need immigrants to do the jobs the Brits won't do yet the jobs are still empty after having an extra 10 million people quite simple if you think about it but difficult if you just want to mock it.

It could be that long.
I remember the 90's crash at one point property became a dirty word, it got so bad many people said it would never go back up. In the 90's interest rates dropped inflation and wage inflation was quite high and it still took years to turn around. This time around interest rates won't be dropping much if anything at all and wages are not going up as they did in the 90's, the debts are also much higher.
