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.

    But isn't if unfair on savers because their savings get eroded whilst those with debts get their debts reduced? Kind of immoral to scapegoat people who have been careful with their money and certainly won't encourage people to save in the future.

    Nobody cares about savers, nor fairness, nor morality.

    They just want their house price going up.

    Simple as that my friend. Whinging about fairness and morality is crass naievity.

    There are a lot more ways to control inflation other than using interest rates.

    Ah yes, but that wouldn't create the desired carnage in the housing market would it? ;)
