Boomed I tell ya!!

There has never been a better time to be in massive debt, as it puts you in the same boat as the banks and the govt, and they aren't about to make life more difficult for themselves by raising interest rates.
With rampant inflation and zero base rates and QE, we effectively have negative interest rates.
No wonder house prices are rising. You are being paid to own a property, the money coming from savers and the next generation to pay for it.Comment

The only thing that will shake the prime property prices is a large interest rate hike and that is never going to happen in our lifetimes. Infact I can see QE being exended to such an extent we are all billionaires many times over, making the £1M you paid for a house look like the bargain of a century.Comment

BBC News - Alvin Hall: The generation poorer than their parents
"Let's take my own house [which] I bought 16 years ago for £160,000. It's in south-east London. It's now worth about £1.15m.
"So I've gained a million pound windfall to which I do not feel entitled, and that windfall, at the moment, is tax-free. Were I to sell [the house], there's no tax on that gain."
"It may appear very lucky for me, but the reality is when I sell, it will probably be to a younger person who'll be getting a mortgage and spending most of their working life paying off that windfall which went to me. I don't think that's fair."
What do you think sas? Are you weeping for the the young sheeple who'll be paying 1 or 2 million pounds when you sell up, all tax free, villa in Portugal and and a bank account full of wonga?
