Indeed London rents have outstripped inflation over the last year or two. I reckon it's because potential first time buyers can't get on the ladderOriginally posted by Diver View PostMy wife just said there's another rise in rents of 0.5% in April on the news, so we have to put our tenants rent up.

Actually I am getting too busy with SKA so I'll have a word with admin to get you a nice job of trolling CUK without risk of a ban whilst getting paid a lot to start threads that increase pageviews.Originally posted by sasguru View Postwhat I'm looking for is ideally some part-time, high paid working from home. Shouldn't be too hard given my talents.
At last I'll have a good replacement
