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

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
