Perhaps, and I actually hope you're right . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .but weren't you saying something similar this time last year ?
PTB were not making it obvious that BTL is going to be reigned in last year. It will be rates, or China, or just that people are tapped out that kills it eventually, but this BTL clampdown is a bonus that will only speed the crash up.:money:0 -

Do you have a date at which we can test this prediction? I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to live their lives on the vague idea that there will be a crash sometime in the next 25 years.
If you can give a firm date, then we can test if you were right or wrong. I tested my prediction for 10 years and had to admit I was wrong in the end.0 -

I think this says more about the situation that most realise
Many people do rent small places that are ok but when they look or think about buying they seem to want the best house in a fantastic location.
Well if the aim is to own one of the top 5% of homes in in your area for your first buy its very likely you will 1: no make it and 2: think homes are very overpriced as the idea of the average person buying the top 5% is never going to stack up0 -

Crashy time appears to have gone silent on predicting a valid crashy date.0

That's because it's hard to predict how far TPTB will go to prop up this debt fueled ponzi bubble.
(For non-HPC readers, TPTB = The Powers That Be)Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -
Well looks like they are not propping up amateur BTL anymore.0
