    but yes as other have said there is only a bubble if you want to bail out and make money...
    Yes but it was a crap metaphor and a crap film because it resolved all of the interesting plot elements with 'he was dead all along'.

    Got to love Cammy and Osbourne, "How can we wrap up a 95% mortgage and tell them it was our idea?"

    "I know, lets call it 5% help-to-buy!"

    I am a home owner. I bought my home 16 years ago.

    I have no intention of moving in the short to medium term.

    Therefore short to medium term house prices movements don't bother me. Nor should they bother the other 80% - 90% of home owners who also have no intention of moving.

    Is it a bubble? Nobody knows. If it is a bubble then who would it effect? First time buyers and BTL landlords would be my guess.

    Should something be done about non residents like me? I.e. owning two houses in the UK and living in neither?

    Ah, darling mudskipper, thankyou for the biblical reference.

    Have to admit I'm not familiar with the story of Jacob's Ladder. Although I count myself as a Christian and I believe in Christian values, the Bible is still on my reading list and I have yet to read it cover-to-cover. I have read the Bhagavad Gita (which is sublime!) and The Bible is on my list to read. I respect all faiths.
    Not me! I'm an atheist, thank God.

    Q) What's the difference between a house seller and a house buyer?

    A) The letter "S", as in: Seller = SMUG, Buyer = MUG
    Jacob's ladder? Gets you straight to heaven.
