Crabs in the attic

Basic premise is; you move your crabs into your neighbour's massive attic

Simple I know, but a winner

I would love a 10 minute 'time freeze' in Fox's house

Much stuff in there from 'the shop' I imagine

This one hasn't too many room for clutter but an ambitious price...

You too can marvel at how many items of trash can possibly be jammed onto the green telecoms cabin on your opposite corner, and witness first-hand the never-gone-for-long rubbish heap just a few cautious steps away!

That made me laugh out loud. I can't imagine why anyone would want to live that way but I guess that's why I live in a terraced house in zone 2

Nice period building and with a workshop in the back. But when you see stuff like this with only 1300 sq ft internal living space max going for ?1.2M...in Peckham. You know you're firmly in massive bubble / future implosion territory. Although someone hocked to the eyeballs themselves...and not geared up for a 5% + mortgage rate will now vociferously claim otherwise.

Time to get the glasses on, fix your rate for 5 years and ride out the coming recession...

nice to see the Plex receiving due appreciation as a local asset

You've gone all Protect and Survive on us MrD.

Is the 5% a prediction?

If so, base rate or high street average?...

[DovertheRoad]

Just making the earth shattering, tentative suggestion that base rates will revert to their 100 year average at some point in the next decade RD. And that wage inflation is unlikely to compensate or support a gentle deleveraging of household debt.

Many of the evil remnants of 2008 are still deep within the global economy and the next one wont bring down the banks...more likely the people.

Total mess at the moment. If you had a spare ?100k hard to know where you'd invest it without taking a hit or barely keeping up with inflation....

5% within the next 10 years? Unthinkable. Looking at historical rates is pointless, you need to think of the economic conditions which would lead to a significant hike, and how likely that might look...

Unthinkable? Really? Millions would have said about 15% in 1992 (ERM...Europe anyone?). And it's a refusal to accept the eminently possible amongst millions of hocked home owners that is a concern. First time buyer millenials who know no different especially.

the workshop in the back has its own access to the street and could easily be turned into a two bedroom cottage to sell off separately or to be shared with family. Loads of potential.
