    I still think 50% on average. All the millions of shoddy new builds (especially flats obviously) and London/South East and will get hammered and drag the average down.

    We had planned to start looking for our new house in November. Then it was January. Now we are thinking of renting for six months. I really don't want to do this as I want my own home again - but, it could make a £40k (after rent) difference to our retirement pot - and that is a lot of fun money.

    That won't stop all and sundry trying their best to do so, on this board !!!!!! :rotfl:

    And if we tell you the usual tepid nonsense we'll have lost all credibility in six months time."

    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
