Went up again weekend before last (having liked what i saw previously); viewed another 6 properties and just had an offer accepted on one. Even the kids loved the area...and they were the sceptics before going up there to have a look around... The area from Hull to Goole, north to York and then east to the coast is affordable and really nice. Some good schools too.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |

About time too as not all of us are borrowers and savers have had a very poor time of it lately. Anyone fortunate enough to win £1m on the lottery could put it all on deposit and live off the £40 per month interest

Better yield in renting out property, especially with zero mortgage costs.

Friend of mine just sold a 2 bed flat near London Bridge. Bought it 3 years ago for £530,000, sold it last week for £460,000. Was on the market for more than 6 months. Lots of competing properties for sale hanging around for a long time. Prices falling faster than people think in London, which of course will as aways ripple outwards as usual. Interest rate rise will just compound the stagnant/falling market. Edited by europalace (02 Aug 2018 4.01pm)

People having been moving out to the suburbs in their droves over the last 6yrs or so pushing those areas up...its only the foreign investors that have been keeping the city prices up. Its the midlands and the North (mainly the North West) that's continuing to rise.

Edited by europalace (02 Aug 2018 4.01pm) Nice to agree for once As for the interest rate rise, Carney has been banging-on for the past 2yrs about the damage the referendum result could cause to our economy so what does he go and do............take more money from the populous to 'feed the greed' that is the banking system! The sad part being that people still fall for it. Sadly.

and the softening continues apace. At this rate a London house will be worth a dacha in rural Ukraine soon. Rumour is that all the Russian money in central London is in flight. Edited by PalazioVecchio (27 Oct 2018 2.37pm)
