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.0 -
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.0 -
