We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

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.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

    Scary posting first time in a forum isn't it? Well don't worry in here, because we are as nice as pie. If you have a question or a point of view, just jump right in.

    And we use smilies, honest, so it's not all dry humourless scary stuff.

    Here's a typical poster >>>> :j

    ... and mewbie should know.

    He's been a newcomer more often than most.

    Yes, I know this isn't the Arms, but could we open a bottle of wine or something? Does Martin allow drinking on this board?
