Debate House Prices

    A landlord within a given slice of spacetime will be either insolvent & solvent simultaneously, but the observer may only measure one of these values.

    The problem here is that most people want to live their retirement intheir own home without paying rent or a mortgage. The only way they can do that is if they buy their own home.

    Agreed. However, as I understand it, for many retirees with little or no savings, housing and council tax will be covered by benefits.

    In fact you need to have a resonable pension/ savings to be better off in retirement as a home owner.
