200p Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The main national house builders, for high prices. Home builders up by an average of 5%. Probably the beginning of a new 5 year bull run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't understand how prices can keep rising. Surely there is a limit to people's willingness to take on debt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAnotherProle Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't understand how prices can keep rising. Surely there is a limit to people's willingness to take on debt? It's more about the bank's willingness to lend. The public will take on whatever debt it takes to "live the dream" and out compete each other to purchase ever more expensive shelter, it's all part of the plan.

200p Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 UK Builders, just an observation in the long term. BDEV is 54% beneath it's 2008 high. TW. is 63% beneath it's 2008 high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

200p Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Quiet now...gidiot will treat that as a challenge. LOL the challenge is on. 5 years ago £10,000 in BDEV shares, would be worth £50,000 today. Up 5x. Would they be worth £250,000 in another 5 years if they went up another 5x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Some new homes will be built......but only enough will be built in-line with available credit, planning and what people/families can afford to buy..... meaning how long the lenders are prepared to stretch the debt out along with how much 'help' the government is prepared to give to the property developers .......what we will see is more people being squeezed into less space, concentrated into smaller areas......more people renting out spare rooms, a greater number of smaller houses and flats, more houses being converted into smaller units to house people......

Timak Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Lobbying from a Tory donor has already seen the room sizes of houses in the new town on the edge of Cambridge, Northstowe, reduce. I have no doubt we'll see lots of shitty rabbit hutches built by the mass builders on crowded sites in unpleasant places in the next few years. Well designed communities with decent facilities and individual housing, less so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkie Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 They would say.....what more does anyone need than a table, bed and chair and good cheap internet connection......why most of the time would be spent away from home trying to earn enough to pay for it.......low pay means low living outgoings.

Si1 Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 You can kiss goodbye to that too. Social housing will be gone in five years I don't mind it bring built and then sold into the private sector. It's just that mass social housing building programmes have a track record of success, admittedly imperfectly, but that scale of building doesn't appear to have been achieved thru other means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subspace Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yep, afraid so......BTL is in effect privatisation of social housing..... But it will not be too big to fail. Well its BTL + HB that is the privatisation of social housing. That is why the Tories won't regulate private landlords, because they need a huge supply of rental properties to make their "social housing" program work.

Will have to wait and see......one thing for sure with the promised welfare cuts it will sort the wheat from the chaff in regard to over extended BTL landlords and those that require high rents to survive.
