    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    Do you know, I really don't know anymore.

    Common sense would dictate they will fall, but since when has the British people ever applied common sense to buying houses?

    So on that basis, I will say rise a lot (like 20%).

      It has got to the threshold where even an interest only BTL mortgage will be just about covered by the rent in most of the south east. Another rise and that will no longer be the case. Assuming many people who bough BTL are on average income and rental incomes are falling, then many people must be at , or near to, breaking point.

        good point. But how many BTLs are instead of a pension? Will those people sell or wait until they retire/die to sell?

          Rents will go up to cover the rises. More immigrants will arrive. More city bonuses.

          The only way is up, big time, forever.

              Obviously then HMG has to make "purchase of property" a pre-condition of granting asylum or FTV... sorted

                    And if the BTL owners have to sell them off, then the prospective tenants will find fewer places to rent and will have to buy (the very same houses) so demand will not slump.

                    If need be the Government will "help" needy would-be buyers, i.e. take more money from those who work, to give it to those who buy houses, so that they can give it in turn to those who sell houses.
