but houses only go up ??

Good man! Hopefully to some dumb foreign "investor" who will eventually lose most of their money.

To a rich young investor for cash, who then spent £80K doing it up beautifully in marble and granite and God knows what, but was then clobbered with a £40K service charge share to renovate the building and replace the roof, which wiped out his profit and then some

It was then on the market for over a year, and he had to reduce the asking price by £30K. But he recently told me he has now managed to flog it to some rich Chinese guy, and was relieved to be shot of the place.

Well done [emoji106]🏾 can you now tell me that I am lazy, need to put my new iWhatsit down, and work harder, as property is only going up and prices are cheap right now. That would be great.

Not a bit. As you may recall, I sympathise with the plight of young people priced out of the property market, and I think people with the attitude you sketch are out of touch, stupid, smug old gits.

The really worrying thing is that the South West is now as expensive as London if you want a decent pad. there are still tulip holes for 250k but you wouldn't want to park your contractor-mobile out the front of them...
