    I was thinking of a couple of days in London. Should I scrap this and have a long weekend in Wood Green instead?

    May I suggest Hove ;)

    I assumed things would have dropped off a bit after the BTL changes, but was chatting to a local EA, and things still moving along well out in here in zone 4, stuff still moving relatively quickly if priced appropriately and often still above asking price.

    Lots of fire under the market now because of government help to first time buyers is doing it I think.

    It's typical bubble territory: buy now or miss out.

    I'm considering a time share option on a couple of bricks in a rather nice end terrace in Islington.

    I'd love a whole window frame but sadly it's beyond the reach of most of us Northern Oiks.

    Islington? It's grim up North One.

    Sure is a boom and will follow by a bust, can't pop easily though because interest rates can't go anywhere fast. This is the big kahuna. More years left to blow bigger me thinks.

    Uncles five bed house in Muswell him now worth 2.5 million. Bankers however are queuing up to buy in the road. They seem to still want in en mass.

    Saw it the moment the Tories got in, four more years of whacking the one trick pony to make the economy keep going.

    I notice though Aberdeen Is down 10% using this new system ...
