I suggest you wake up and read the board before clogging it up with a duplicate thread."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

The end of 2012 is 3 years time, not 2. A 15% gross nominal return in 3 years is pretty mediocre, you still have to pay stamp duty and other transaction costs.
From your article:
If this comes about, and I'd be surprised if the rally in UK house prices has legs given the state of the UK's banking sector and real economy, then I suspect there will be many other areas of investment that will be more profitable to pursue.In a study to be published on Monday, the Centre for Economics and Business Research is expected to predict that house price growth will continue next year – albeit at a slower pace than in 2009, with property prices finishing the year between 2pc and 4pc higher than today. It will also predict that by the end of 2012, house prices will be around 15pc highe0 -

You have to pay transaction costs anyway - whether properties rise or fall in price! And you have to pay stamp too, providing the property is over £250k - which most properties are these days!0 -

Funnily enough, there were people on here, just over a year ago, telling me I'd missed the boat.
As it turned out, I was 8 months too early for my boat, but it arrived, eventually.
Data in the media describes overall patterns, but real life is, happily, far more complex, perverse and interesting.0 -

Well now that your boat's come along (and you've only just started out on it - loong way to go yet) I suppose you'll be hoping it holds its value eh?0 -
No, pickledpink - not everyone is as selfish as you appear to imagine, or as obsessed with the value of their home.0
