    Very good option. Sell property and wait for the property bear market to pick up speed.

    While waiting buy silver bullion bars and wait for the monetary precious metal bull market to pick up even more speed.

    I think I might take your advice. I'll sell my house way below it's current market value (after it it's going to soon crash anyway). With what's left over I'll buy another single asset. Meantime I'll pay rent at a substantial premium to my current mortgage.

    Who's giving this wonderful advice - someone really successful no doubt?

    Think again. This advice comes from someone buying half a silver coin each month and in receipt of housing benefit.

    The riots will have acted like a map showing the foreign buyers which parts of London to avoid buying in. Info that us locals knew already.

    Were Russian millionaires accidentally buying in Tower Hamlets before the riots?
