ingermany Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I have watched the forum for a while and fid it a refreshing island of sanity and truth. I left the UK about 7 years ago, selling my house, and felt for a long time that I could never return due to the run away HPI. In the last 12 months I have realised that house prices where I used to live (East Midlands) are now only about 10% higher than 7 years ago (in pound terms)...............about 2% less in Euros. Where is all this house price inflation I've been reading about? Good news then, I can return to the UK. Do I want to though? ingermany (for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
