This is a case of making hay while it shines. Once the election is done and the politicians finally come clean about the mess we're in, the party will well and truly be over.

With 'efficiency savings', job cuts and tax rises needed to bring the deficit down it can only get worse post-election. The big question being how long before it gets better again.

The main reason we're struggling to find anything both decent and reasonably priced is because hardly anyone is selling in our price range. Sure, loads of places every day are coming on at 275k and below, ditto places 500k and above - but between, and with a garden, anything that does go for sale there's just a frenzy.

It's not as if these are 'forever' homes. They're the kind of places to live in until you have to move out for another two bedrooms and a bigger garden for the kids.
I have a horrible suspicion that even when taxes go up, PS jobs are cut and interest rates go up these places will still be few and far between.

Fortunately, we're in a good position and can move whenever - now or next year, it makes no difference, but I do wonder how so many people are rushing around outbidding each other without a thought of what the future may hold.
