Of that is the case, then its not an extravagance, it's an investment and one that has gained in value immensely over the last 10 years. Its also an investment that you and your family get to enjoy every single day of your life - can you say that about shares, bonds or Gold/Silver?

Problem is though RenovationMan is that it is not always an investment that has gained in value over the last few years is it and not every one has bought property for their family to enjoy every single day of their lives either.

Of course inflation is on the rise. Shame that Nu labour didn`t apply it to housing. As an older person, work is hard to find. No wonderful pension from being a government employee. We do have pensions yet they are worth little to what we thought.
Savings just melting away. Look around. Food is on the increase, will not mention fuel. Energy costs for your home. Hopeless. Poor folk with the great promises from endowments now have been messed up in the main.

£1.32 a litre, hmm that will get you. I don`t see the last in gas fuels rises.

As for the Con Lib toffs, no trust in them.

Bit more pressure to raise rates then.

yes because increasing rates to 1% is really going to make a difference (where's that confused smiley)
