What would happen to my terrace house in stoke I bought for £40k would I have to pay someone to take the liability off me once the immigrants who support the £40k prices disappear?

LOL! Have you actually ever BEEN to stoke ?

We have discussed demand for housing many, many, many times.

Australia has a higher rate of immigration than the UK. Although apparently we only accept brain surgeons*.



*This is not true. Gardeners' labourers and recruitment consultants are on the list of 'skilled' migrants.

no idea what you are trying to say

The video was specifically about housing in London : what could be more relevant than discussion of supply and demand and the causes?

To be fair, I think that they probably do realise that. What I suspect they are doing, is highlighting the problems caused on the supply side, with a hope that something will be done about it.

seems strange to me, how you can discuss housing problems in London without mentioning that the population is rising at about 100,000 per year, whilst the supply isn't even meeting the increase let alone dealing with the backlog.

A bit of rebranding will fix that .

Stoke => £40K for a terrace

But...stick something else on the end of the name and ...

Stoke Newington => £750K voila !!

How about "Stoke Oldington"? It sounds more mature ; more heritage.

Btw the presenter of the original show is taking the spoof quite personally via comments on twitter. Good for her standing up for herself, but I think she should harden up a little.

Staines itself is rebranded. It was originally St Anne's.
