True enough but for me it's way too emotional to have a take it or leave it approach. Being happy, settled, and safe in my own home is too important. I'm not rich but I need to know where I'll be living so I can make plans, make it my home and get on with living.0 -

So no empty housing space in London then?0 -
This is the same old rubbishy you've been spounting for years. If there was enough property to satisfy demand then prices would be a lot lower. As people can not borrow as much now as they could before the banking crisis how come they have boomed over the last couple of years.
BTL. Now happily on the way out for the average "investor".0 -

It's not a forever home but it's a 10 year home and in that time we would of been spending £900+ a month on rent as opposed to £700 for a mortgage.
The joys of home ownership come at a price. Worth having a savings pot for those repair and renewal jobs that will crop up every so often. Property requires maintenance it's not cost free.0 -
Well if you offer a multinational a great deal on a vacant bit of Scotland and offer then a large contract from the UK government, its not surprising they would create jobs here, probably a condition of the contract.
Whoa.... you mean we can actually do schit without the old men in Brussels managing us?

+1, as lots of people are seeing now, a bit of bad economic news and your house becomes unsellable at the kinds of levels you have got used to and you are STUCK in negative equity. With the economic uncertainty not ending anytime soon, this will just get worse.0 -
