    Bristol has built a lot of new flats for rent, but they all seem to be (s)!!!!!! trendy places for hipsters and close to the centre, I expect they cost a fortune and are no good for people that aren't doing financially well.

    I doubt the rental market will suffer, when I tried to rent 2 years ago here I pretty much viewed a property (got in early, first viewer) and phoned the agency directly from the property and placed a deposit over the phone. Most places I viewed before that were rented by the first person that viewed them. And the fees were gouging.
  • In relation to the bickering in here, it is 12:20pm and at 12pm Mark Carney himself has just said that house prices and the housing market is likely to fall.

    Now I'm sure when someone on the forum says it they are told it must be nonsense but if Mark Carney thinks so I'm not sure I'll call it nonsense...hmmm

    And the BoE singles out the housing market as a significant concern:

    Early indications from surveys and from contacts of the Bank’s Agents suggest that some businesses are beginning to delay investment projects and postpone recruitment decisions. Regarding the housing market, survey data point to a significant weakening in expected activity. Taken together, these indicators suggest economic activity is likely to weaken in the near term.

    Perhaps this is all a lot of nonsense, eh?

    stage 2 are angry...yappety yappety yap...
    Not sure what stage I'm in - I'll book an individual session when you're free - but I'm not angry.

    Disappointed yes, because I don't like seeing this once great country going down the drain.
    Anyway, time will tell.
    I hope you're ready to come back down a couple of levels on your change curve when reality bites. :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    do you always believe every politician?
    or do you think EU politicians are different from the UK?

    do you really think that ALL EU exports to the UK will stop in 2 years time and then negotiation will start?

    Sorry for late reply.
    No, No and No.

    Why is it that when you post a source, people believe it's YOUR belief. It's not.

    It's posturing and it's part of the negotiations.
    I was answering the question of where did the idea come from and that's the source.

    Perhaps you could bore us about renovations and paying down a mortgage instead of Brexit implications that my or may not happen.

    The same Mark Carney who said rates were maybe ready to go up only 8 months ago, same Mar Carney who spouted all the Brexit crap...

    You may need to go on Dr. Ginge's anger management sessions to move you up or down a level on the change curve. :)
    Haven't had a mortgage since '97. Have a good day.
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Fixed-rate dual-fuel energy tariffs pulled since Brexit vote
    Twelve energy providers have pulled fixed-rate tariffs and replaced them with more expensive deals since 23 June, in signs that the pound’s fall in the wake of the Brexit vote could push up household bills.

    https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jul/12/fixed-rate-dual-fuel-energy-tariffs-brexit-uswitch

    The VAT removal from household fuel, promised by the brexiteers will not come too soon. :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    It's nice amateur psychology. Judging by how angry you seem to be you might be behind me on that change curve or struggling with a different change curve.

    I'm not angry. I'm very comfortable with where we are, what's happening and where we'll end up.
