That's not a bedsit in Bedworth, it's a studio apartment in an up-and-coming / vibrant / diverse area. Cheap at twice the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si1 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Seriously, where is everyone going to live? In 5 years time even more young people stuck at home and no way they will be able to buy at these prices. So lots of old people in homes they bought for £30k years ago with 5 unused bedrooms whilst everyone else has to suffer. Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmt Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Country house prices could rise as much as 10 per cent "within weeks" according to Edward Heaton of Heaton and Partners, a property search agency. Made up on the spot prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canbuywontbuy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 UKIP, Lib Dems and Labour essentially non-entities now - so expect more of the same - unchecked immigration, stagnant wages, £80+Bn a year deficits, HPI. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwiches33 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Looks like I will be downsizing further to renting a caravan, then a tent, then a box then having to pay to be near a tree.

workingatthepyramid Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The plight of this country's young have had to be sacrificed to keep the SNP out of power and the Union together Apparently a price that the 'Thatcher Tories' thought worth paying. It's ok though because they can send their kids to private school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Banner Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Estate agents would be ramping whatever the result of the election, that's what they do, that's what they have to do. Who would buy a house if all the estate agents were predicting falls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwiches33 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yup more fool us for our sensible use of actual maths. 2+2 = 5 I'm off to buy a giant new build and maybe treat myself to a big audi on contract because obviously I never have to pay any of it back.

workingatthepyramid Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 You have got to buy everything on credit so you can spend all your wages on the public school fees, then your kids grow up become bankers and pay off all the debt with their first weeks wages.

LC1 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 at least we all agree hpc has failed Do you mean this site, or the concept? It is highly likely that there will be a HPC at some point in the relatively near future. Just a question of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 might do, at least we all agree hpc has failed Actually I don't, it's merely delayed, and the longer it is delayed the harder it will bite. Interest rates can't be dropped as they are already at rock bottom and the government can't get away with propping up prices by handing out taxpayers money to potential buyers for ever!
