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.

  • What about a 'crap prediction club'?

    The first rule of 'crap prediction club' is you do not talk about 'crap prediction club'. etc...

    I think that particular theme would be more at home on the following website:

    :rotfl:

    Never double what we have now? Really? Lol!

    Maybe not the affordability disparity, but nominal value without accounting for inflation? :rotfl:

    I think there's a case for renaming this forum 'The Crap Prediction Club', probably more accurate than 'House Prices' :rolleyes:

    It might need renaming. At the moment it is called:-

    House Prices
    If you're keen to chat about the ups and downs of house prices then this is the place to do it

    I think they may need to take the words "ups and" out of the title.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.

    Wouldn't it follow that you'd have to pay someone the value of your house for them to live in it?
