It's not going to get any better either, av price of a 1 bed flat in the South East expected to go up 9% this year to an average of £148k, who the fug is propping up the market (which should have collapsed by now due to first time buyers being forced to sit out the boom) and buying these places!?? In 1997 a 1 bed flat in Brighton was £30k!

People who buy to rent, soon enough they'll own all the property in this f***ing town.

Buy to rent is the root of all evil (not religion).

Totally agree. It's like those poncy new apartments on the corner of Grand Parade and Edward Street, the ones with wee alumnium balconies overlooking the main traffic feeder lanes into town from the A23. Half of them are still being advertised for sale, while the ones with a sideways view of the Pavilion are already being advertised To Let in wank-mag Latest Homes for £1200 a month.

The beautiful family home at the bottom of my road has just been demolished, no doubt to make way for some overpriced single-occupancy flats, and Chris Eubank's missus is in The Argus today crowing over her planning victory that allows the Eubanks to knock down their two adjacent family homes to build 41 flats, with the sweetener that some of them will be 'affordable'. Well woopy-doos.

This town has sold its soul to the devil.
