You should probably mention that to your mates in the Edinburgh thread on HPC....
Poor CCC doesn't seem to be having much luck with cheap renting since he moved out of his parents gaff.What's going on in the Edinburgh market just now - its mental.
I am looking just now - anything vaguely reasonable fairly central for 1-2 bedrooms has a queue of 10 people wanting to view it and first come first served first pays the money gets it.
Bloke I spoke to today clearly let's out plenty of places said he had never known anything like it - his phone hasn't stopped ringing.
No sales nonsense either - its the impression I get from looking in the last few weeks too. Its nuts.

I did say the poor lads confused, but as he's been predicting a 'crash' for the last two years, he may well be mad. I wonder what his excuse will be this time next year?0 -

That post was June last year mate. Strangely my landlord never contacted me to say anything about this supposed uptick in rental activity.0 -

Speaking of which, CCC says the rental market in Edinburgh is "madness" with stock flying off the shelves at full asking rents.
You say there's a surplus of places to rent and nobody ever has to pay full asking rent, and that rents are crashing.

And in June last year you were arguing over here that rents were crashing in Edinburgh.

its not a bubble
A bubble needs an overproduction and waste.
The world does not have overproduction of homes, if anything there is still a shortage of some 2 billion homes worldwide.
The UK needs to build another 10 million homes by 2050
Even little ireland the poster child of 'the bubble' actually now has a shortage of homes0 -

No, I said my rent has been stable since the late 90`s and that I have a flat just now. I also told you that the post you are salivating over is six months old. Oh and because there actually are empty flats not only in my block, but in the surrounding streets the desperate cash rich mob that ccc encountered couldn`t have made it up this far from wherever he saw them.......:rotfl:If you want to keep believing that rents are soaring in this economic environment I will leave that discussion for you and your doctor OK :money:0
