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


Much stuff in there from 'the shop' I imagine

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...

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

Is the 5% a prediction?

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

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.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
