I'm really pleased by the increase as our 1 bed house is up for sale at 115000 and a lot of the smaller 2 beds in our area have been clustered at 119995, making our 1 bed seem expensive. Now hopefully some of them will be clustered at 124995, widening the gap. Yay!What did I do at work before I discovered MSE?!

What an old stingy. :shocked: He hasn't gone out of his way to make things a little bit easier for those on, or struggling to get on the bottom row of the ladder, has he? Nasty man.
The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
