When is everyone going to realise that the only thing that these bell ends on TV are not talking down is their own personal little empires of Buy to Let properties around East Dulwich and the rest of the nation. You are all paying 2006 monthly rental prices where the Landlords/ladies interest rates (and most of the Buy to Let investors are advised to go on a tracker and interest only mortages) have dropped by 4% slashing their mortgage payments. Your buying houses for these people and some !


Take these middle class nimbies with you into the great depression and slash your monthly rental payments !!!

I think you will find that rental prices are generally an indicator of what people can afford to pay, and also an indicator of supply and demand. ie a fairly true marketplace. The prices aren't dictated by the landlords, it is tenant salary that dictates the price.


Rents will drop when take-home pay generally drops, irrespective of interest rates.


This year I am sure you will find it is better to rent. In financial terms only, rent is best in a falling or flat market, and buying is best in a rising market.

Sean, where were you last week when there were fifty odd different threads all about "snow"? The forum got very messy and we needed our mum to tell us to go tidy our room.


Slightly off topic there but it's already in the Lounge so what you gonna do?

Have to agree with GG Sean, I'd not even read her post when I had decided to liken your post to the kid in school who draws the teacher's attention to the slightly naughty kid. Wherever it belongs, it's an interesting point I'd not really thought of before AFN. That said, I'm just about to move in to a 30s 3 bed house in Sydenham for a grand a month, which seems about 500 quid less than Dulwich, so can't complain.

Driving rents down = landlord can't pay mortgage = repossession = homeless tenants


or


Driving rents down = landlord can't pay mortgage = repossession = bank puts house back on market at knock down price, landords buy them or councils and rental rates fall accordingly....or banks buy them, the one's that we own and...hey presto we re-write the rules of capitalism

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
