Can't eat mortar.
Haven't you seen the BOATS mate? BIG NO is the answer
Rents should be capped and also investors should not be permitted to own a stupid amount of houses, like not max than 5.
All those houses now owned by investors, should return to the market so people can buy them.
The asset is severely overpriced, no ifs, no buts, no candy, no nuts. Whether that's in relation to their actual value as a product (they're just bricks and mortar) or in relation to average UK wages (that's before we even get to UK employment contract conditions). Analysis of house prices over the past few years, even dating back to 2008, gives a false reading. The accurate metric is house prices over the last century, so since 1920.
Housing, which is an unproductive asset, is locking up far too much capital in the UK economy, capital which could be allocated to more productive areas of the economy. This is one of the reasons why productivity growth and economic growth are both on the floor. There are many other problems which come with overpriced housing as well.
"Everyone getting over excited, paying silly money, you struggle to get a viewing" – This is precisely the situation on the ground now, especially in the rental market, which is a component of the property market.
I thought house prices are now (02 Jan 2025) more or less keeping even in real terns, not falling — as in the plateau to the right of the inflation adjusted price graph you show at 2:00.
Not sure I agree with you at 7:20.. They might no be rising any more in real terms, but the sky high price they have evened off at now is absolutely bloody madness.
Go for it????? Really??? This is your argument? Make the worst decision ever that will affect all your life financially. You clearly got no understanding of reality. People going now abroad can have a peaceful life and buy a house for a fraction what you have to pay for a ruined pile of shambles in the uk. You cant compare the house prices to other goods prices. A propper analisis compares phousing prices to wages which didnt rise that much
You say that labour are not trying to discourage property investment yet the renters reform Bill prevents a sensible exit stratagy, completely disagree with you as an investor, I can invest in many more things that have better returns and I can get my money back sooner.
Property will only crash (or decline) IF we see unemployment rise and we have a recession… it's as simple as that. So watch the trend in unemployment and GDP (as I do on my channel) and you should know ahead of time, if prices are going to come down.
No, if government don't build enough house, rent will be double.
Average tent is 1200 now.
Not going to happen may level off at best
Unlimited immigration = unlimited inflation. Simple mathematics… If there's a lot of demand, prices keep rising. The mention of not enough building is laughable… If you built millions of houses a year, prices would go down, but who's going to allow that, or instigate it
Israel crashed everything in Uk economy . houses not be selling. And on 2 years houses prices fallen 40% off
I don’t think we had a “silent property crash” the reason why I say this is because during covid house went crazy let’s say they went up 20% for the sake of it.
This influx/ increase was unrealistic.
Then we had a moment of stagnation or small growth in the property market.
Even though everything else was going up, cost of living, bills, food, inflation.
This was just catching up with the house prices and current cost due to high inflation.
So you can say that house prices were first to the party, cost of living was late and took a bit of time. But if you look at the last 5 years let’s say.
Houses went up 20% in the first 2 years and then stagnate for 3 years.
Where as cost of living, gradually/consistently went up. In the end everything went up by 20%.
Apart from your wages.
Now the housing market is hitting a ceiling, aka… affordability.
Now we also get to see banks trying to stretch the rules of affordability.
But realistically, let’s not say that there’s been a ‘silent crash’ because it hasn’t.
Silly silly silly.
Landlords must do very detailed spreadsheets. Doing mine I've found im still in profit just. And the mortgages go down every year. Long term once a mortgage clears profits are significant.
Selling up is quite expensive, so if you don't need the money hang on in until next government reverses the attack on renters, home owners and Landlords!
Most people’s wages haa haven’t gone up and they’ve fallen behind the level of inflation.
Another greedy twat advocating uncontrolled rents.
UK property prices will never ever fall far.
It will always ,always ,
bounce back look at thw demand look at our population look at our size
It will NOT crash, we have entirely too many people for too few properties.
We've never had such absurdly high house price to household income multiples, coupled with higher rates. In that sense UK property has never been this expensive and yes that is a massive problem.
Dude, you haven't seen a crash 18 years, it doesn't mean you're not going to see one
Full of sh….
I wonder how King Charles will cope?
Treating housing as an asset class(and the main/most profitable one as well) is the most damaging thing to society, communities and the average individual. Owning more than 2 homes should be taxed so aggressively that it would be of negative value. If you want to invest then do so in productive assets.
Price will get higher it will never come down … there’s no houses …. The demand massively out weighs what is available these are very scary times 500+ for a room in someone’s house is becoming the norm….. 30 odd years ago this was unheard of
