FT - FSA rapped over buy-to-let schemes

I liked it. The only change I would make is a percentage box next to the capital appreciation cell, so the user can put in their estimated fall/gain. Having said all that I've just done a deal to rent a 5 bed, £325K house and the yield is only 3.2% for the owner. Even a Labour MP can work out I'm better off renting, although it's good to see it in black and white.

FT Report - Greenspan warns of strains in housing market

According to the BBC it' only 1500% increase to £1,000,000. BBC - Jowell steps in to London Eye row Not bad considering the SBC only paid £1 for the land.

FT - Debt move narrows Brown's options

I post on ********** as much as I post here (not a lot recently due to workload). My personal opinion is that reading different sources gives a more balanced view and enables the individual to make an informed decision.

My father works in the building trade (steeplejack) and has been saying that theres work about but not heaps of it. He was also saying many of his friends who normally work on bigger contracts have seen work dry up and they're having to take on private work to get by. This is in the South East BTW.
