- Absolutely no chance of quantitative easing.
They've already chucked £200 billion of QE into the mix, why do you think they won't do more?

Or it should be , but you can get away with anything if you donate to the Tory party , or if Labour get in next time they will probably be the same under Starmer !

Yes we will have a reception but personally I don't think it will be half as bad as before.
Last time the banks didn't have much or any money this time they have its the government who's lending the money.
Personally my mortgage is almost paid so I'm not really bothered but I was thinking of selling up next year and getting a bigger house maybe I could sell up and maybe buy not a house but a town up north

Over 10yrs since Stimpy told us all there was gonna be the biggest house price crash ever he's back saying it again, I said it wouldn't happen last time and I'd be very surprised if it happened this time. Hope you're well though Stimpy👍

Stimpy saved me a fortune, took his advice and moved mortgage to a tracker 4 months before interest rates shifted.......

Yeah I heard he saved a few people money like that, fair play to him, but he was massively wrong about house prices and there was a thread that went on for about a year or so, pretty sure he even sold his house and rented banking on the crash so that he could clean up. He was also pretty rude to a lot of people that disagreed with him on it.
Long and short of it is that he's dead right about it being a perfect storm, it the bottom line is that we are so overpopulated that I think the demand will almost certainly outstrip supply and prices will stagnate for years to come, no odds to me as I've got no mortgage on my house.

Another £100bn of QE, total now of £745bn.
Is it possible that VAT could be reduced to encourage spending?

Might guess is whatever the amount you reduce the VAT the companies will put their prices up by a corresponding amount

Still 13% down on pre lockdown but retail sales in May up 42% from previous month.
There's bound to be some causalities but let's hope for a continued upturn

I live up north, tynemouth to be precise on the northumberland coast line and my house on average has went up around £1000 a month since i bought it 3 years ago. It all depends where abouts in the north you buy but it has not affected house prices where I am. There are some very cheap houses in the north but there further down south from me ie Middlesborough. Ive got 3 other houses two which i rent out and a holiday home in keswick in the lake district which i dont rent as we use it all the time which isnt a very good financial move as i could get in a week from it for what i get a month from each of the other houses i rent but money isnt everything. All the new tax increases that are now in for landlords makes it a lot harder to make good money from it now and you will make next to nothing if your paying top dollar for a house you want to rent out, it will only really be good as investment for when you retire. The only reason I do ok is that i don't have a mortgage on any of them so its all profit as no mortgage to pay, we just have the tax on the revenue from them and the landlord insurance.

Was that a official company statement or some bloke who hasn't made a sale in a while and wants to frighten others into buying something
