    It's going to be fun. And would of been a lot more fun if I hadn't bought a big house last year, damn !

    I've just been winding up a fellow contractor who has a BTL empire and showed no signs of being worried previously, despite my best efforts. This time he cracked in less than a minute and had a worried look on his face.

        It can't effect London, apparently
        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.”

            I've been assured that is true.

            If anything, there will be gentle correction, soft landing, and we'll be off again.

                    One difference is that you've got a lot of sizeable BTL empires owned by people with little behind them other than the property itself. This wasn't really possible in previous slumps. Pretty sure some of them ( plenty !? ) will go down if we have a recession and it'll be interesting what effect this has on local property markets. I know a couple of people with 20+, maybe 30+ that are just about ticking over as things stand, they've also been dabbling in commercial property which is what I think will bring them down. Double uber doomed !!!
