While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Ah, typo in my earlier post - have corrected. Mind you, only last month the HOA (source of that lovely bit of churnalism you linked) were triumphing crossrail, promoting property ownership as a source of longevity and admitting that no-one knows what Brexit will hold.
So yeah, anyone can find a link from somewhere which upholds their point of view.0 -
