Good news for renters!

In fairness, without that pig and with a lick of paint, that would be a pretty spacious place, with high ceilings and plenty of light.

(No idea what the rest of the building is like, obviously, or the area outside. It's probably in the middle of nowhere, somewhere like Siberia.)

Almost any renter can buy tomorrow - only not where he'd like...

Nice picture of MF relaxing at home :-)

Bastard said he would be spending one night. It's been 6 months now.

Also he has photoshopped the picture. He takes up a lot more space than that.

not to mention that in the board room they must have checked to see which revenue stream was paying up best UK or EU.

Funny how PwC are churning out so many positive papers on Brexit.
It's not like they rely on the incumbent government for much of their revenue, is it?
Shirley not, Noooooooo way

I've just been passed an envelope that says "no they don't"


...oh, sorry, wrong envelope.


"yes they do"


almost the same thing anyway.

From the ref:

... our main scenario projects a gradual recovery, with price growth picking up again to around 4% in 2018 and 6% in 2019. Thereafter, we expect growth to average around 5-6% per annum from 2020 to 2025 ...

Can't see most 20 & 30 year olds on average salaries being able to save faster than these rises or even match them.

They'll be marching on the spot or falling further and further behind until the last star falls from the Heavens

T
he good news for generation
renters is that Brexit may actually
help them get on the ladder slightly
sooner as we expect it to slow the
pace of house price growth.
Unfortunately, the effect is small,
as we estimate a generation renter
starting to save in 2016 can now buy
in 2035, rather than 2037 if the UK
had voted to remain.
