And less people buying is of course good news for those FTBs sensible enough to have saved a decent deposit. Nothing much else to discuss on that one.
Do I consider real time stagnation in rental prices a victory in the housepricecrash argument? Actually I don't really consider it at all.
The sensible FTBer would be one who bought years ago, before peak.0 -
So you insinuate that since 2007 theres been no such thing as a sensible first time buyer, and never will be again. What a strange argument argument. Very rob though.
By that reasoning then I would not be a sensible first time buyer and even my perverse logic doesn't stretch that far.
It's fairly obvious that buying before peak is better than waiting years for prices to fall back again though.0 -
It is interesting isn't it mate. Gosh, it almost seems as if monthly fluctuations in average rental values for any one month have very little impact on the majority of renters in the uk.
As for me, my rent hasn't changed since 2009.
Sorry to dissapoint.
No that doesn't disapoint at all - so how much has it gone up since 2008 then? (that will include 2009)
Have you been renting the same gaffe a long time?0 -

A new record high a few quid more than it was three years ago you mean. :rotfl:
£20 (as you show but the link showed £29) is a pcm.
That means its £240 (or £348) per year.
How much are the landlords typically saving in mortgage interest in the same time?:wall:
What we've got here is....... failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach.

Well thank for clarifying that a year is made up of months Lite.
I'm sure we can all rest easy after than.IveSeenTheLight wrote: »

Gosh, you mean that 0.5% base rates have resulting in people with mortgages saving a few quid. This is massive!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN DISCUSSED BEFOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!0 -
Also rental arrears shot up very sharply in August. Suggests those poor landlords "rents" are going up but they arent actually getting the money!I am not a financial expert, and the post above is merely my opinion.:j0
