    Luckily I don’t live in yellow sub crashy time dreamland. 

    Just best to ignore it all really. Wishing for something to happen and posting about it won’t make it happen.

    we are an island, everyone wants to live here as it’s a decent country, and they cant make any more ground no matter what they do.

    so long term house prices will only ever go one way. 

    Look at ANY repeat ANY 10 year period be it 1947-57 to 2012-2022 or any combination and house prices have always risen substantially 

    there will always be dips and bounces along the way, it’s a long term thing.

     the HPC idiots that encroach on here really do live in la la land. 

    Best place for them they can keep on paying me their rent. 

    Everything goes up in price as the currency goes down in value.

    look at anything in any ten year period, sugar, timber, metal, cars, housing everything.

    Sometimes some things go up more than other things then there is a correction 

    measure stuff with stuff not fiat currency is the best way to tell if something is over or undervalued.

    how many barrels of oil, Brussels of wheat, or tons of copper were worth the same as an average property?

    in 1979, 500 oz of silver were valued the same as an average three bed house a city.

    Today it’s over 25000 oz of silver valued the same as that same average three bed house.

    if you take fiat currency out of it and measure stuff with stuff it’s easy to when something is overvalued and some things are undervalued.


    everything is in a valuation channel going form over to undervalued. At the moment property is over valued.


    in about five years time they will be undervalued.

    According to moving home with Charlie they will not change in price, average house prices in the UK will be the same in five years but inflation will average 10% per year so 50% real term crash. Then they will be undervalued compared to everything else that goes up with inflation 

    it’s just the currency losing purchasing power

    I agree @motorman99


    Now, I don't know how many "Brussels of wheat" or "tons of copper" that would equate to, and I don't know a thing about "fiat currency" either. 
    My brother had a Fiat once. It lost value over 10 years. Is that what this means?
    He was lucky! In my day, if you bought one of those, bits came off in your hand and the rest rusted away while you were in the pub, so 10 years was close to a miracle.

    Just say, "No!"

    My lovely neighbour has a Fiat 500 cos she liked the shape but couldn't afford an Abarth. I'd have held out for an Abarth myself like, prolly wouldn't devalue as quickly...? Yep I reckon that's the answer there.

    Now, what about "Brussels of wheat"? Is that like the butter mountain, as was?
    As long as there’s no shortage of Brussels sprouts.  I like a good sprout with my roast.

    You're talking Northern now, aren't you?
    None of this par-boiling with my mother-in-law. It's full-on for an hour until the vitamins are driven out.

    Are you trying to say that everything goes up pretty much the same with inflation?
    No, of course there are exceptions so I'm asking what is special about "bricks, cement, timber, glass, labourers, wiring, appliances etc." and all the other things that go into building a house that they won't go up in price when according to you most other things will by 10% on average every single year.
    For the avoidance of doubt, you are claiming that house prices will not rise at all for the next five years, not that they'll rise more slowly than inflation... or would you like to move the goalposts?

    Property has gone up more than everything else for a while now most other things will go up more than property for a while. This has always happened and will continue there is nothing new under the sun.

    According to reports lat last year , the average wholesale price of Brussel Sprouts had gone up 30p year on year. The SRB (Sprout Reform Bill) will change all that according to Farming with Jeremy (another well know Youtuber and Messiah).
    Gawd that made me laugh! :lol:

    I don't believe farming with Jezza(for those that listen to his sproutcast) has as many followers as the whopping 12,000 that homes with Chazza has. I mean Chazza is a big deal in his village
