House prices are continuing to pick up, according to the latest survey from the Halifax bank.
It says prices rose by 1.4% in February, pushing up the annual rate of house price inflation to 5.5%.


See, safe as houses. Anyone ever thought of buying up all these bargain properties and letting them out? We could call it Buy To Let, and I'm sure it would be a great idea.

The people will be pleased to be so rich.

If I could borrow a point from another thread for a minute, does this mean that any policy that is likely to maintain house price inflation will attract votes for the party that proposes it? Such as government (taxpayer) aid to buy first homes, 70-year mortgages, and mass immigration?
