    I rather keep on renting in London and buying a small lovely house later on 100s of miles away from here cheap, for my older age if I'd stay in the UK (which I doubt). Safer, less stressful, cheaper. Once you have a hefty mortgage with low deposit, it's like having an axe on your neck for about 30 years. Thank you, but no thank you.

    Of course it will, my mortgage will rise by about £300 a month next year. I've had my house 8 years and paid a sensible price at that time.
    Not a chance in hell I could buy my house from scratch now, despite having relatively healthy pay rises.

    Actually still lots of affordable buyers from aboard will seize the chance to invest.

    There was a case that the solar panel caused fire on the whole roof in a new built house, horrible 😩

    In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

    90% of the properties I’ve viewed over last 3 years have been owned by landlords, it’s rarely ever the home owner that lives in the property.

    Simple.
    Stop telling the people who are paying 750-1000 pm in rent we can’t afford a 570pm mortgage and we’ll get more people on the ladder

    The average house is ten times the value it was in 1980.
    And a hundred times the value it was in 1960.

    It's all messed up. Weren't they thinking of having negative interest rates during the pandemic. So much for insight and planning. These policy makers should be booted out.

    Market is manipulated by estate agents, mortgage lenders, banks and builders. Put a restriction on how long land can be held before being built on and abolish councils from being able to take cash payments as part of section 106 agreements. Force the builders to build on banked land and you will free up the market, it is being manipulated by those in the chain to ensure margins are as high as possible

  14. @joannazian7699

    January 27, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    What a load of rubbish. Because the prices go down, it'll be more difficult to get a mortgage???
    The only reason getting a mortgage will be more difficult is high rates that are rising on a daily/weekly basis meaning the buyers' affordability shrinks at the same rate and if someone doesn't pay attention to it, they may think they can still buy houses at the prices they could just a month two months ago or at the time of receiving their DIP.

  24. @goalhanger6073

    January 27, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    without landlords most properties would be still badly neglected. facts. we need landlords and more but only as credit is so hard to get.

  25. @goalhanger6073

    January 27, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    if you rent for 3 years not missed a payment and have a strong job with regular income for last 3 years you should be able to get a mortgage. but it’s the credit score which doesn’t really help anyone. most people got into debt in their 20s and rent without a chance to buy. this needs to change. give those a second chance.

    Price and migration controls are the only solution to the housing dilemma if we can reverse the inflow to an outflow and control housing we could give every indigenous European a dignified place to start a family and stop our birth decline from 1.2 to maybe 3

  27. @prycelessly

    January 27, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    I call BS! The lower the price, the better for the well qualufied buyer. Banks have no problem entering mortgage agreements with strong investors.

    the market will collapse and it will be a good thing. when house prices are 7.5x annual wages or more its unsustainable. it should be 2.5 to 3x. expect a 50% drop

  32. @Poultrymad

    January 27, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    We don't need more houses built, we need less people in the country & a ban on foreigners buying to rent at extortionate prices. We should also use brownfield sites, renovate & restore older buildings instead of knocking them down as most were better built than todays shoeboxes.

    solar panels are a total waste of money and so are stupid green techs with only insulation being worth doing.

    Whether or not you like GB news, they are covering cost of living and housing really well at the moment. Before you rub your hands that by somebody else losing money you can get a cheap house, it needs to be borne in mind that you might not get that mortgage to do so. Opportunity must align with preparation.

  39. @xDAAAZEx

    January 27, 2024 at 8:28 pm

    Fair enough saying it’s better to get a house over renting. However when rent is so high, it’s wiping out any chance of saving for a deposit, it’s just never going to happen….

  40. @bestyoutube5318

    This happens every 4 years. 6 months from now the news will be that they’re rising. It’s done to cool down or heat up the nuclear reactor that is modern monetary theory

    House prices are falling and will fall this year 2024 and 2025. I also believe house prices in ten years will be less than they are now

  45. @connormcleod9595

    Wait till 2025 and get the property 30% less. Let time do the negotiating.
