    What are you - an expert on the way the world works?
    Given the naive questions you ask on here, I seriously doubt it.
    One day you'll learn - or maybe not.
    Hard Brexit now!

      "In today's money, a typical home would have cost about £43,000 in 1959"


      So anyone saying don't buy property. History is very much against you over the long term...
      What happened if you bought in 1990 and sold in 1994? And I mean the average - not a house in Chelsea.....

        It is not a cert in the short term, but it looks good in the long term.

        Keep a house for 20 years and I think you would be very unlucky to miss out.
        Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

        Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

            The only way I can see that working is if you were working in the sperm banking sector and were getting a tenner a sperm!

            Now stop making things up, No-one believes you....
            I'm sick of these Walter-Mitty Millionaire Property Tycoon types here.

              Hey there big guy, unlike some I don't profess to know everything that there is to know. I value advice from others and I like to learn.

              With regards to my expertise on the ways of the world, I am doing ok. Mid thirties, beautiful family been on 6 figures since I was 28, in contract until mid-April and busy travelling the world during bench time.

              I know it doesn't compare to your stellar existence as a jet-setting sperm banker. The difference is what I have described as my life is in the real world.

              Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

              Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

                  Yeah we believe you - and that's why you started this thread on whether property is a good investment?
