neon tetra Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I would have despaired if this had still remained positive after all of the negative stories. This is a leading indicator, so fingers crossed this will transform into some falls. Brexit’s fault, so say the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/oct/11/brexit-uncertainty-taking-toll-property-market-rics-research ...which is good, because it will become a self-fulfilling downward spiral. Hopefully. Edited October 10, 2018 by neon tetra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully. Apparently Brexit is having no impact in the north where prices are still rising. Which suggests it has little to do with Brexit and more to do with the crazy insane prices in London and the south east which fewer people are now willing to buy at. When houses in a dump like Dagenham are now going for over half a million quid you know we have reached peak insanity.

The 1990 crash took around 8 years to bottom out. It is better to watch prices fall while renting than it is to watch them fall while paying a 95% LTV mortgage.

The finance equation is: cost of rent < interest cost + capital depreciation + freehold maintenance costs After a lot other parameters come into play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftb_fml Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Excellent news. That page on the Guardian makes excellent bear food - look at the eight "more on this story" links / thumbnails at the bottom of the page - 5 of which are very negative regarding HPI. Quote It said the downward pressure on prices in London had spread out of the capital, and that “the already negative readings for the south-east and East Anglia deteriorated a little further in September”. Ripple effect, anyone? Looks like it's playing out much like it did last time.. Edited October 11, 2018 by ftb_fml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's true, but almost all of the financial advantage of renting was realised in 90-93 so you may as well have re-entered the property market in 93 when the the balance was swinging at an accelerating rate back towards ownership, been able to decorate, modify, repair, etc. and be already invested at the start of the bull run double bubble through to 2016/17. 2023 looking a good year to buy. Sadly we will be buying in 2019 or early 2020 due to my being the only rationale person in the family wrt property, but at least the froth is blowing off already..

The bond market, real estate market, art market, classic car market, crypto market and equity markets disagree with your statement. Booms don’t necessarily mean prosperity for all... sadly.

the_duke_of_hazzard Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The London quotes are universally negative, including this gem: 'J.J.KING, FRICS, Wimbledon, Andrew Scott Robertson, 020 8971 6780, www.as-r.co.uk, jking@as-r.co.uk - Applicant registrations has slowed. However greater positivity is coming from vendors leading to more offers/ sales being agreed.' Positivity = willing to drop prices I guess. Never heard it called that before.

Sadly we will be buying in 2019 or early 2020 due to my being the only rationale person in the family wrt property, but at least the froth is blowing off already.. In 10 years of ownership my 60k mortgage cost 300 to 600 per month in interest. After 10 years I owed 10k more than the purchase price. In today's context that means paying £1500 to £3000 a month in INTEREST...to live in a small 3BR house...for 10 years after which you discover your house is worth £50,000 less than you paid for it and there are points during the 10 years of ownership when you could have bought it for £100,000 less than you actually paid. Will that scenario be repeated for today's FTBs? Maybe not, but never dismis the possibility. Edited October 11, 2018 by ingermany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The markets you mention are not true “Equities”, for I incorrectly and too loosely used the phrase - I just mean something tangible. The markets you mention are unlikely to be of use to the voting Public, and the Tories will be ‘rewarded’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
