House Prices
42Yes, in the next year house prices will fall significantly28.57%12No, they will continue to rise40.48%17They will stay stable30.95%13The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -
Do you know, I really don't know anymore.
Common sense would dictate they will fall, but since when has the British people ever applied common sense to buying houses?
So on that basis, I will say rise a lot (like 20%). -
It has got to the threshold where even an interest only BTL mortgage will be just about covered by the rent in most of the south east. Another rise and that will no longer be the case. Assuming many people who bough BTL are on average income and rental incomes are falling, then many people must be at , or near to, breaking point.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Rents will go up to cover the rises. More immigrants will arrive. More city bonuses.
The only way is up, big time, forever.Comment

And if the BTL owners have to sell them off, then the prospective tenants will find fewer places to rent and will have to buy (the very same houses) so demand will not slump.Originally posted by DimPrawnRents will go up to cover the rises. More immigrants will arrive. More city bonuses.

If need be the Government will "help" needy would-be buyers, i.e. take more money from those who work, to give it to those who buy houses, so that they can give it in turn to those who sell houses.Comment
