I was in Bolton today it's a bit of a dump now but when they have sorted the m60/m62 in that area will be a good commuter town.

So yes good investment long term.

Good smoke?

House market armageddon will occur before then

Bolton's the armpit of Greater Manchester.

Could it be something to do with the BBC moving from London to Manchester?

All those overpaid Beeboids snapping up properties for themselves and BTLs?

edit: Bolton, a short way down the road from Manchester, is about the only place where property prices have reduced slightly over the last two or three years. So that looks ripe for a good property investment.

FTFY

Don't forget the paddling pool and barely used lard.

[WTFH]

You two seem to have very similar views on a lot of things, maybe the start of of true, deep, bromance.

I'll start saving for a new outfit

Exactly.
At least if it happens the Mauve one may get his house and stop whinging about the injustice of it all on here

The government cannot let it happen.

Seen it in Leeds 10 years ago - plans for huge towers, some got built, most didn't, lots last huge deposits buying off-plan, too risky, it's not finished yet but the end isn't far off.

Ask yourself what's more likely. Prices spiralling upwards and beyond, staying as they are, or crashing? Bear in mind that the Boom and Bust cycle continues, one of the great mysteries of capitalistic economies.

Same happened in Manchester during the crash - more than Beetham Tower were scheduled. Just had a look on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._in_Manchester

More than I'd thought - the Metrolink needs serious improvement first and the dependency on city centre routes must be circumvented too. For those Londoners not aware of what it's like, it would be like all tube lines having to go through Oxford Circus or Tottenham Court Road; if part of that central section goes down, the whole service is thrown into chaos.

Prices can go down, as well as up.

Nice pic.
This is where you show your young age, unfortunately.

So whats going on with manchester recently? I'm trying to buy a 120k property but each time im getting overbidden by 20-30k over asking price!!, or property is gone before i even have a chance to see it within a day.
Is it like this in London atm ? will this last or its a sign of an end of the boom?

/discuss

£120k? You need half a mill before the local estate agents will even let you leave a message. And you need the full mill before they actually return your calls...

And that's why the government want to eradicate cash and create a completely digital-finance economy.

i think you will find that`s to wipe out the black market mostly

nothing to stop digital cash being converted to assets and swapped about like paper cash
sounds like those bitcoin guys are looking to the future

[ChimpMaster]

Absolutely - An awful lot of people will start hiding money in their mattresses.
