You're the one comparing the two, I simply asked if you've been to both. What's not fecking clear here? And why would I care if you've been to Afghanistan or NK?

Someone doesn't like banter then.

Governments have shown time and again they will support the housing market. It’s a no brained for me. Buy always especially if this your first residential property

inflation will help a lot and low mortgage rates lever the return

it can always be a rental if you need to move and you can always go back in ten years time when you need it

Met up with the landlord today, turns out the agents decided to bump up the prices they passed on to him and now we are talking £475-525k range. Mind you place is only 60sqm, so absolutely crazy money.

Looks like renting it is...
