It really concerns me that prices go up so rapidly. I remember reading a book about the 10 year cycle of property prices boom/bust, cant recall the name and its not so bad when you are on the ladder - if you are fortunate to buy at the right time, but how on earth the kids of today will manage, I have no idea.

Morning Tilly

It's the same here at the moment. My Mum is looking to downsize and there is very little on the market. I've heard a couple of people say that they are waiting to see if prices go up before putting it on, which is very frustrating if you want to move now! We were extremely lucky to get our house when we did. We couldn't get anything for £110,000 now, although it was technically uninhabitable and had lots of structural problems!

I hope you enjoy some sunshine today

Property in our area is booming at an incredible rate. Houses that were taking months to sell are now selling prior to marketing. It's crazy. Like you say Tilly it helps no one really. I really feel for first time buyers. x

Over on the Debate House Prices forum (which is my usual home on MSE) we are forever getting posts by people asserting that all home owners always want their houses go to up in price, and expressing disbelief whenever anybody tries to say that not everyone thinks that way. And yet both here and IRL I meet plenty of people who have a much broader and more balanced view of the situation.

It is certainly a mad old world and I just hope kids find a way to navigate a path - maybe we will become more like Germany where more people rent.

Hey, long time lurker on your thread. I have a 3 year old DS (and a 6 year old DS) am interested in you post about Pine Cone - what is it?

Thanks for your diary, I have picked up lots of tips from you and your commenters (is that a word ?)

Morning, PC is a survey company which pay £3 per survey, have product trials and some one off trials. I'd definitely recommend them and they pay via P@yPal but promptly, no waiting until you hit £10/£40/£50 etc.

If you PM an email address I will forward an invitation.

Best wishes Tilly

Money matters - I've been given a one off reward for performance, total surprise, so will be moving that to MOS.
