It was touch and go for ages when rates were 15%, my wages were not increasing and I had to sell my nice car to make ends meet.

You have obviously suffered hardship. The roof above your head should be the financial priority. I had to sell my Porsche. Now worth at least 15 times what I sold it for but property has risen far greater by comparison and no regrets.

Re: House selling prices
House prices taking a slight dip?
No problem, sell hypothetical “Air space” above longstanding developments (without planning permission) for 5 figures

UK housing is now, by far, the worst in terms of value for money than any other OECD country. This is so broken.

Re: House selling prices
Is there any causation between the net migration number 745,000 (in 2022 last figure available) and the number of properties being built, 191,801 for the year 2022?

Re: House selling prices
Shhhhhhhhhh.. you can’t say that!…Of course there is, I know at least 5 different Hong Kong Chinese families that have bought in the uk on new developments, spending a lot of money in the process. One development in the south east, 40% of all buyers are from HK.

Re: House selling prices
Sure that correlates? Helluva lot of Far Eastern 'investors' don't ever live in the place they buy so they're not part of any migration figures.Beradogs wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 5:29 pm Shhhhhhhhhh.. you can’t say that!…Of course there is, I know at least 5 different Hong Kong Chinese families that have bought in the uk on new developments, spending a lot of money in the process.
