You really should speak to an NHS professional if you keep getting "visions" like this

To be fair, some people are beyond help..... But at least they're entertaining.;)

We have a half acre paddock. If the planning changes come in, the first thing I will be doing is applying for outline pp on it for a single property. We could overdevelop but I firmly believe there aren't enough family 3-4 bed homes with decent space for the rug rats to stretch their wings.

Your first hurdle will be to get planning permission to change the ground from agricultural based to residential based

The housing market is getting boring now
If there is going to be constant attempts to keep it 'stable' by the government, in whatever the current guise is, then of course it is going show signs of 'recovery', but one day, these attempts will fail, the further prices go, the less consumers have to spend on other commodities
All it is is prolonging an ever growing pain. The current housing market will be the next big finance story for the history books, and not in a good way

This is such an obvious misreading akin to saying one day food prices will have to crash because they take up such a high proportion of income.

Food and shelter are the 2 most important requirments of society, and come what may, society will find ways to afford them. Many buyers now buy as couples, so yesteryears affordability model is utterly redundant.

In terms of the affordability myth, there are still huge numbers of property available in affordable areas right accross the land from Kent to Lincoln, Bristol to Birmingham. Fixed rate mortgages have never been cheaper. This affordability thing really is tiring.

When house prices are rising, I'm sure these HPI nutters have a picture in their head of a bank clerk adding crisp notes into their special jar on the shelf.
So when they see a headline saying "house prices rise £100 a day", they see the cash getting put in the jar.

And when they want some "free money" they go along and they get given the money out of their jar.


THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS YOU MORONS.

You forgot to add the tenants crisp notes being added to the jar btw.:beer: Immense feeling knowing each month those tenants salaries jusr keep rolling into your Bank account - almost surreal.
