    Your asset isn't increasing in value its value is the same
    if liver prices went up to 10x as much as last year are you as a liver owner better off? What are you going to do sell your liver? Likewise what is a homeowner going to do, sell up and live on their car?

    The only people who truly benefit are the some 1 million households who own more than 1

    The 17 million households who own just 1 are actually net buyers going forward so higher prices isn't great for them.

    BTW im not arguing that we should see a HPC there are problems with that too. I just think it would be farm more sane and healthy for the UK to be building towards 400-500k unitd a year. This extra supply will imo jist reduce HPI to French levels of around general inflation or a little higher

    Can you sell a liver, move abroad and buy a cheaper liver in the sun and live off the interest from the Inflation.......

    Keep quiet because you're making a bit of a tit of yourself with these poorly thought out and badly spelt analogies.

    You don't seem to understand the system is currently going towards more landlords and less owner occupation. And it is happening very rapidly. more than 1000 homes a day are switching to landlords.

    I know that. You don't understand that I don't celebrate HPI - I celebrate not being a renter.
