Same with rentals……here at least anyway.

Relatives recently bought a large property in Devon with a decent amount of land (between them sold two houses near Tiverton to buy one much bigger property). Missed out on several they liked due to ‘DFL’ buyers who were quite happy to immediately pay way more than the asking price for what came...

Therein lies the ‘problem’ for high earners though and seen so very many colleagues do this though…….if you’re on the decent six figure salary you can indeed get a £750k mortgage and a lovely big house, but you’re then effectively tied into the rate race for many more years. You’re more likely...

Possibly, but the effect of business travel dynamic will be interesting - talking to people in my old shop, there's going to be no return to (often ridiculous) pre-pandemic levels (and the contribution to certain airline revenue streams from chubby executives pissing off aroud the world every...

Well obviously - I was just highlighting the disparity. It's awful for kids down here - in my daughters case her Borders salary would be exactly the same if she was in Brighton (in fact it might even be slightly lower).

Wonder how much of the Horsham demand was calculated and predicated on Gatwick being fully functional and continuing to expand (instead of being 80% down or whatever the traffic is now with little likelihood of returning to pre-pandemic levels) ?

Similar here really - been in the same house 20-odd years and won't be moving, however have two kids who will at some point want to get their own places - both currently rent similar-sized flats, one pays £350 a month (Scottish Borders) and the other pays £1,100 (Burgess Hill) - the regional...

Lloyds have just the launched the cheapest 10 year mortgage deal on record……(1.66%, max LTV 60% and £1,000 fee).

No plans whatsoever to move so not really bothered, but would like to see a reasonable fall in prices to give my kids a better chance of getting somewhere decent in the next few years. Covid19 will put a temporary brake on the market, as will the economic impacts, but when things do return to...
