    Whatever, all I'm interested in is the fact foreign banks are snapping up office space in London. I guess that's somewhat annoying for the remainers.

    I think they are now called The Remoaners 😂

    Fixed that for you. ;)

    Made all the more appealing by the British Pound's sudden resemblance to a Banana Republic currency.:rotfl:

    NO, that's the ones that get caught ;)

    LED technology has got a lot lot cheaper over the years. Its possible to grow veg for very little power.
    Hydropinics also gives a much higher yield than soil grown plants.

    But you could have bought for half that.


    No point in being tied to a basic dwelling just for the sake of "owning", that mistake is going to come back to haunt many people after the bubble pops.

    Prices of luxury London homes 'could fall as much as 50pc'

    House prices in the most expensive postcodes of central London could fall by as much as 50pc, according to analysis by Soci!t! G!n!rale.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/house-prices/prices-of-luxury-london-homes-could-fall-as-much-as-50pc/

    Cause Brexit effects on financial firms in London. I can't see the house price falls not rippling out across the country in the same way as when they were going up.

    just spend under two million, outside london and you're only looking at a 5% drop!!

    why not have a sensible discussion on the pros and cons of a lower currency especially when the trade balance is in massive deficit?

    No much better to have a bedroom in someone else's house.

    I can`t think of anything worse than being tied to an average or below average property in negative equity.

    I can't think of anything worse than living in a house share in my 40s or 50s.
