When is everyone going to realise that the only thing that these bell ends on TV are not talking down is their own personal little empires of Buy to Let properties around East Dulwich and the rest of the nation. You are all paying 2006 monthly rental prices where the Landlords/ladies interest rates (and most of the Buy to Let investors are advised to go on a tracker and interest only mortages) have dropped by 4% slashing their mortgage payments. Your buying houses for these people and some !


Take these middle class nimbies with you into the great depression and slash your monthly rental payments !!!

I think you will find that rental prices are generally an indicator of what people can afford to pay, and also an indicator of supply and demand. ie a fairly true marketplace. The prices aren't dictated by the landlords, it is tenant salary that dictates the price.


Rents will drop when take-home pay generally drops, irrespective of interest rates.


This year I am sure you will find it is better to rent. In financial terms only, rent is best in a falling or flat market, and buying is best in a rising market.

Sean, where were you last week when there were fifty odd different threads all about "snow"? The forum got very messy and we needed our mum to tell us to go tidy our room.


Slightly off topic there but it's already in the Lounge so what you gonna do?

Have to agree with GG Sean, I'd not even read her post when I had decided to liken your post to the kid in school who draws the teacher's attention to the slightly naughty kid. Wherever it belongs, it's an interesting point I'd not really thought of before AFN. That said, I'm just about to move in to a 30s 3 bed house in Sydenham for a grand a month, which seems about 500 quid less than Dulwich, so can't complain.

Driving rents down = landlord can't pay mortgage = repossession = homeless tenants


or


Driving rents down = landlord can't pay mortgage = repossession = bank puts house back on market at knock down price, landords buy them or councils and rental rates fall accordingly....or banks buy them, the one's that we own and...hey presto we re-write the rules of capitalism

    • As we know Love Dulwich is now a Turkish meze grill restaurant and today they have started their lunch time special. A choice of a cold or hot starter (4 of each to choose from), plus a main meal (4 the choose from including a veggie meal) £15. I had hummus with the softest, warm bread to dip in it (you can ask for more bread) and then chicken shesh, 3 types of salad (onion & sumac, red cabbage & traditional leaf), bulgar - huge portions.   The food was tasty and delicious. Chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavour, salad was fresh and the bulgar was cooked perfectly.  If you didn’t want the lunch special they also had the main menu which was small but with some amazing meal, chicken, veggie & fish options.  We really enjoyed it and will be back to sample the evening menu as well.   
    • Nikolay's work was recommended by several forum users in here, and we decided to go with his services after getting his quote: it was well priced, with the cost of each component clearly broken down. We recently purchased a Victorian conversion in Catford which had alot of damaged floorboards (old, but also damaged from badly done DIY repairs) which needed replacing, and a 4 x 4m bedroom which needed all new floorboards installed as previous owners removed all original boards to install cheap chipboard floors covered with padding and carpets. Nikolay and his team removed the chipboards, and built the floor in 2–3 days from reclaimed boards, alongside doing alot of replacements and repairs to a lounge and dining room. When the quote was to go up due to more repairs being needed (we asked for it) Nikolay communicated the changes, and gave us an updated quote quickly so we could update our budget for it. They were very communicative and gave frequent text and photo progress updates when we could not be there which put us at ease. The whole job was efficiently completed in 6 working days including sanding and staining all the floors. The job was completed to a high standard, and the results were incredible. I still have 1 more bedroom which needs restoring, and I have every intention to go back to Nikolay again for his services.
