House Prices

[Phoenix]

So I can buy a terraced house in Surrey finally.

Terrace?
Dear boy raise your sights a little...A semi is the minimum

In London? then there should be at least a 50% crash then.

[BlasterBates]

Hey Francko have you finally dumped the "trappings" of permiedom.

Ah! He's a permie...explains the Bedsit in Surreyville

No mortgage thank feck. Maybe now I can buy that row of terraces that I always dreamed of. You need dreams.

My grasp of economics is not so good - but it seems that most of the levers for inflation are actually government controlled:

Utilities: monopolostic entities recently allowed to raise prices well above inflation -water alone went up 20% last year. Strategic planning would leave UK less vulnerable to price swings

Fuel - ok oil is at $70 @barrel but tax is the major component of price at the pump reduce the tax component to stabilise prices, help industry and economy - may mean less to give to Africa but who really gives a feck about Africa

Used to be pay rises that raised inflation - with all the immigration I think pay has stabilised to reflect increse in labour pool

[DimPrawn]

Yes immigration is the answer.

The more that come in, the better off we all are.

Here's the proof:

House prices will rise due to demand.
Pay rises will fall and hence inflation will fall.
They will wipe my bum when I'm older.
We won't have any of them nasty skills shortages.

I'm just annoyed the government seem to think 1,000,000 a year is enough.

Where do you get a fixed term for 7 years at 2.2%?
