You can't tell me the US doesn't have high immigration. New York, LA and San Francisco are as overpriced as London. We should be following what's happening there.
Oh hang on, what am I thinking... buy before its too late!Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.Comment

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.”Comment

If you called it right you could move up the ladder with little outlay. Cash in at the top, take a subsidized rent in a nice gaff, offer to take it off the Landlords hands when it goes pairshaped with your nifty 1/2 mill in the bank.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Sell up now. Stick the money in the bank (actually several banks). Rent a really nice (bigger) house. Wait for the crash and then move up the ladder. Maybe even see if the landlord wants to sell up.
Her response was house prices can never fall, property only ever goes up.

- Fell in late 70s;
- Fell in early 80s;
- Fell from late 80 to mid 90s.
If she still won't see reason, get a patio put in: somewhere to bury her, and adds to the value of the property. Win-win!Comment
