All of a sudden nobody wants a roof over their head? What, is everyone going digital nomad with a plug in solar kit?

Surely the fact our migration is now nearly at net zero might be related to this too. I wasn’t a supporter of such draconian measures brought it in labour and the conservatives but they’re here now either way, and have massively slashed numbers, for better or worse.
It’ll reduce pressure on housing, it’s simple supply and demand.
But the flip side is we may end up with a further shortage in certain sectors.
So pick your poison really.

It’s probably more to do with untold landlords selling g up to avoid all the new rules coming in.
Which is good.

Yep, me, living in South East England, decided not to buy a house this year purely because of the potential war between the US and Iran

Why are people denying this? “Mortgage rates have jumped and hundreds of the cheapest deals have disappeared over the last few weeks.” This is true and people are holding out in the hope this will blow over relatively soon.

As other’s have pointed out, the cheapest rates have jumped 1% in the past month – that has a huge impact on affordability, and less buyers in the market means less money for a property.

The comments are a mess in the article. Boomers saying it was hard in my day as it was 3x my salary, completely oblivious to the fact houses are now 10x minimum wage, as wages have barely risen, and you typically have to save whilst renting at the same time.
Doesn’t help the general public don’t understand inflation or wage growth
