    Have you seen the Jewson prices lately?

    For those planning on getting work done, and were holding on on the hope that things were going to get better soon.

    Fencing up 51% And that's on top of already significant price increases this year.

      It is happening everywhere in the building trade. A developer friend (Medium scale) is working on budget increases of up to 40% for next year across all line items.

        Yeh, couldn't get any cement for a little job a few weeks ago. Have to go back to dark ages and start making buildings with straw and cow poo again soon.

          Opportunity for some filthy MF-style arbitrage there, assuming they have stuff in stock.

            Yep - I've been doing a lot of work, building a wall and such and it's been an absolute nightmare. Cement, especially

              Not just building materials, of course, it seems like just about everything from used cars (up 30% this year) to energy prices. Conveniently, there's a separate explanatory narrative for each (micro chips, Russia etc) but let's get real. Something's going on, isn't it? Glad I locked in my 5 year sub 1% fix just a couple of weeks ago and don't have any cash savings.
