Yep, cash buyer for top dollar. The cash buyer managed to knock off only 2% off the top dollar asking price. Friend says regardless of what survey says he's not getting another penny off because the house he's buying in winchmore hill, he couldnt get even a penny off.
It's a two tier market, 2 millions plus properties are sliding in price, cheap houses are hugely fought after it seems.
Mansion tax is a gift to those with value properties in London.Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.0 -

London 1961 - 1991
Built ~900,000 homes
Population increase = Down by some 1 million people
London 2001 - 2031
Built/Building ~ 700,000 homes
Population increase = UP by some 3 million people
Lower supply, higher demand = ??????? someone must know but who!0 -

Those that cant afford a house, will be able to rent one sharing 5 wage earners to a 3 bed flat....or it might be 10 wage earners to a 2 bed flat by then.....
Plus we are nearly half way through this 30 year period, 2001-2031 and yourself today could have asked your younger self in 2001.....young squeak, sure 1.5 million more people will come to london by 2015 but how many of them can afford it....therefore prices will not go crazy......
