Originally posted by AtW View PostBanks won't lend as much money as they did in the past until next bubble - this means house prices will be moderated as most people won't get the money to buy them otherwise. Most of those "speculators" don't have cash - this crazy buy-to-let speculation was mostly funded by banks, so that's not going to happen soon.
In fact here is one more insight - as pound is dropping rapidly effectively in 2 weeks it made UK houses 10-12% cheaper than they used to cost. This won't attract buyers though - I think it will just make foreign owners sell as fast as they can as otherwise they get double whammy: cumulative house price losses for those people are now over 25% and they got a lot more to lose.
I reckon when the next boom finally takes off, as it will, it will make me a millionaire (a real one, not a DP one)Hard Brexit now!

Please stop worrying

As I've said above, and I'll repeat it here, Britain is well placed in this Global Downturn thanks to our flexible workforce.
Now, please bend over and show me just how flexible you can be.

Bollux as usual.
Just as the upside is exagerrated so is the downside.
But as you have no experience let me enlighten you. Everyone will predict the end of civilisation as we know it for the next couple of years.
Yet for the majority (say 90%) there will be not much difference, apart from a little belt tightening.
Around 4-5 years from now we will hit the bottom.
From there house prices will start climbing, slowly at first then increasingly fast.
10 years from now we'll have the same moaning about high prices all over again.Hard Brexit now!
