Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

If you have a look through my various posts you will discover that I own my home very nearly outright, have no intention of selling or buying, and have no "vested interest" either way. Whether my house is worth £1 or £1M tomorrow makes not one jot of difference to me.
But to clarify the point, it is actually irrelevent what people wish or think (which is why your self confessed "wind up" posts are largely useless), what will happen will happen. However desperately trying to spread disinformation, as you admit to doing, helps no one.
Well then, as I said, I stand corrected.

Totally agree, but it's far from the only factor. So I fear your one man/lady crusade to change the course of house prices via sentiment is doomed I'm afraid.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

Just looking at the local rental yields locally. Unbelievable. I think anyone who has bought a buy to let in the last 3 years must be subsidising the tenant.0
