in Debate House Prices & the Economy
..Any one who thinks things are getting better are living in denial.. things look like they are getting worse and talk of green shoots is wishful thinking....
It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    That's the global daily job loss I would have thought. It certainly makes for grim reading.

    Title suggests that it is, but it doesn't sound like it having looked at the figures. 30,000 since when? This month? Since the start of the recession? Since 1929?
