the increase in population

Is due to a decrease in people dying.

freezing most immigration could be helpful with no downside

No, the downside would then be a proportionally ageing population due to the decrease in people dying.

The increase in population is due to the babies being born and immigration:
people not dying are already with us and so do not increase the population.

a proportionally aging population is not a problem as we have no shortage of labour

Yes.

From the article quoted by the OP....



It also notes...



Which is the market working exactly as it should.

Rationing goods in limited supply through price until sufficient people are priced out (or forced to share) so as to equalise supply and demand.

Like with oil supplies Hamish there are plenty of houses, it is just that some individuals have too many, but the government and economic realities seem to be doing their best to remedy the situation. Let`s hope what is happening in Aberdeen is rolled out across the rest of the country soon.

Sorry - is it floods or reduced employment that you are hoping to see nationwide...or both?

A special thread just for you to discuss Aberdeen prices and rents.

I'd be first inclined to raise the rents so that should one tenant get into financial difficulty I can evict them and have any short term void covered by the previous rental increase.

No, a juicy house price crash where ordinary hard working people can find value without being gouged by the bankers or having to bail some fool out of their debt.

i never knew there were so many charitable landlords charging rents of just what they need to get by and can simply put thier rents up rather than already charging the maximum the market will support.

Landlords are smart, they predicted that one day the government would single them out for taxing and left a little slack in the tank so that the tenant would just pay more when the time came......
