Speaking of which...

I can say for a fact that houses are NOT still selling like they were a few years ago and prices are being dropped all over the place due to inability to sell.

It is thankfully becoming a bit of a buyer's market .

There has also been a massive gap between what you can buy in Scotland and what you can buy
In the south of England

The property market down here is booming a house less than a mile away from mine gas just gone on for 4.8 million

Yes but there are whole areas where large portions of the property is bought up by investors (often foreign, surprising with so many Farage fans on the site that people would be happy with that) and they're either rented out for huge amounts or, increasingly, simply left sitting empty.

Genuinely, soaring property prices relative to average income/way above the rate of inflation may be a very good thing for property owners (if they ever intend to sell, otherwise it actually means nothing) but it's not a sign of a strong/stable economy.

You’ve come a long way since the part-time Poundland wages days, eh?
