Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Because there is credibility gap.

I asked the Chancellor if lower house prices could actually be seen as a positive thing, particularly for first time buyers.
"You don't get affordable homes by wrecking the economy," he told me.


I think he's made a blunder about falling house prices , if you want to sell your house and house prices go down, so will the price when you buy. Also it will be good for first time buyers.

His answer that "You don't get affordable homes by wrecking the economy," show's he couldn't answer the question.

House prices falling would be good ,they are way over valued ,average young people have no chance of ever buying .
Prices have again raced ahead by stupid percentages ,it's boom and bust all over again .
Now who said no more boom and bust ,oh yes Gordon Brown.

Thank you aldwickk a decent sensible post , unlike the closet panic artist that is Haystack . I was thinking a bit of that . Thanks .

the super-luxury end is certainly being hit as the russkies, chinese and nigerians start to panic lest their laundered money gets too much attention from the authorities

And who has been chancellor for last 6 years?

Brilliant economic policies.

Should be in the market-place with Cameron and his barrow boy techniques.

Mind he gets on well with the Chinese and Saudis.


Also, seems to have Pals in Panama.

Blimey cynic it's because of Brexit apparently , or so some want us to believe .

2046 - surely a case of malapropism; it should be credibility

brexit has certainly caused temporary stagnation in the general market, but that's not the same thing

there have also been some badly burned fingers with off-plan investment purchases of riverside apartments along the thames in london, and there'll be more to come ...... there's been a severe oversupply for at least 18 months

=====================

just back from the gym, and it's seriously hot yet again, so must get down to the pool/beach for a read and a perv :-)

But of course it will be Brexit's fault . Although housing just can't go on like it has .

Brexit will make it worse.

Manuel, re-read and corrected.

(Mind I can see why I considered credulous with this incredible government.)

fred - the cartoon has the same error ...... illiterate newspaper editors; there's a surprise!

Fred ..brexit will make it worse ,and then he posts 3 times ,is he senile ?

i need someone to keep me company :-)

Manuel,

Because of past and present dyslexia I have a spelling checker running behind me and sometimes accept to easily.

But ummmh!

Good on you Fred.
