    There's a sigma about renting in some circles which is a bit silly. Nothing at all wrong with renting if you're not sure what your future holds... Or even as a lifestyle choice.

    Of course with interest rates as they are, buying in a few months night be a smart investment.

      Tory con for sure, and malicious one at that - get prepped for new lockdown in October (if not earlier)
      Nope they're trying to get people to go out AT ALL so restaurants don't collapse. Many are sitting totally empty so far.

      If a restaurant employs sensible precautions it's pretty safe.

        Deposits now need to be bigger
        Job prospects clear as mud
        Whole economy in peril from inevitable second wave

        And Tories want people to buy a house?

          No, it won’t be safe now on Mon-Wed, which used to be quiet days in the past, now places will be packed for a month - just like in US big spike will come 5-6 weeks later.

          Start getting ready for new lockdown people, this one will last longer.

              Restaurants won't be 'packed'. They might be full but they can't hold as many diners as before. So even when they're full distancing is in effect.

              And I don't think everyone is going to rush out for £10 saving. It will just hopefully encourage more people to eat out. Many will stay home.

              If we all stay home, the economy is dead.
