    or maybe the know that the bubble has burst and are trying to sucker a first time buyer who hasn't cottoned on yet by presented it as a tax saving bargain

    You should have bought the one for £257k when you had the chance, now for virtually the same money you get a 70s kitchen, a rusty bathroom modeled on a pub toilet and a wasteland in place of a garden.

  • yes, lets ignore that
    the same way that you're ignoring the deflating london bubble


    The question should be how much will the London bubble deflate or will it pop. Then how will it affect the rest of the country, will UK average price fall in comparison to Londons looming falls?
    The thing about chaos is, it's fair.

    in some places e.g. the stow and stratford it looks like a pop
    in others e.g. tottenham and leyton it looks more like gentle decline
    i'm still staying a correction
    either way its bound to have an impact on the rest of the country

    The trick in life is to listen to those that have proven success behind them, more than those without.

    Not the other way around.

    Wood green will enjoy a greater than inflation rise this time next year as long as there is a no vote is Scotland and there isnt any other super black swan event or really radical Labour changes that change the whole market drastically.

    I would estimate we are looking at a 10% plus rise.
    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.

    How long have you been asking this question?

    Some would say this was proof of a 'pop', if it's freehold I think it'll get 550 on a bad day - 600k on a good, what do you ppl reckon? I don't normally like wood green but this is house pr0n. I'll be frankly hacked off it it gets 475.

    It's priced to get noticed and cause a bun fight. It's working.

    truly truly deluded
    and you people laugh at the HPC crew?
    where will the money to pay for an extra 10% on top of already overvalued property come from?

    It is hardly a FTB property, so I would guess from the sale of another property?
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:
