What I mean is, who or what is responsible for the steep rise in the cost of buying a house nowadays? Estate agents, the government or maybe it is Cliff Richard or Hugh Laurie lmao0 -
Human greed is responsible. The greed of people selling houses who try to push for 10k more than other houses have sold for. The greed of people who have a few grand spare and decide to become BTL landlords, pushing out first time buyers. The greed of land owners who push for unreasonable amounts of money to build houses on their old land. The greed of house developers who control their developments to avoid flooding the market and try to push up prices. The greed of estate agents trying to maximise their commission by inventing non existant competive offers. The greed of NIMBYs who want to prevent people building houses anywhere near them and the politicians who come up with stupid policies like green belt land to help them.clueless1807 wrote: »Sorry guys now I've read that back it was a little....vague lol
