Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

I know Glasgow has a very bad drug problem.
Would you like me to provide you with a learning assistant to help you understand my posts over the last couple of weeks?
So with me living in married quarters and being in the forces makes me a sponger then?
You make fun out of me because I think a £175k house to my £40k+ income is expensive. Martin's money saving expert calculators must be wrong too! Contact him!This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

It`s pretty simple. IMO if you put a house in Bearsden on the market a few years ago, when people believed "houses always go up", it would have sold really quickly, and just about anyone in that area or similar areas could have sold their house quickly if they needed/wanted to move. I believe that isn`t the case anymore, but it is your area or one of the areas that you watch on Rightmove so that is why I am asking you.0 -

The money would come from the Magic Money Machine that has kept the likes of RBS afloat, where did you think it would come from, the Drumchapel credit union?0 -

Not if it's the same learning assistant that teaches you how to communicate. Thanks though. I don't think your potential 175k house is expensive. I just think you're unbelievably selfish and short sighted to wish ill on others just because they have more money than you.0 -

Because I'm in the forces and live in SFA, I'm sponging from the state then?!?
Can you quote anything that suggests I'm selfish?0 -

Where does the money come from to justify ever increasing house prices?
