“…. tsunami of guff …” 😂😂

If the currency slides 50% and house prices go up 50% this is not a boom, but might be labelled one but really money just devalued…the only reason house ‘prices’ have not totally collapsed is that the currency is collapsing making it look like the prices are bit lower or flat. In real terms part of the crash has happened.

It seems quite clear that house prices can't "boom" because they are not affordable for the vast majority of people as it is, with mortgage rates this high.

Thanks Charlie. I can clarify the question from m. I'm assuming that if house prices were factored into inflation data, the BoE would have raised interest rates a long time ago. Theoretically this would have curtailed the inflated house prices and kept them at an affordable level. Wondering if you've any idea why house prices aren't used to calculate inflation and what it would take to include them?

Ive often wondered this. I'm not sure if it's still on there, but the ONS used to have a section regarding their CPIH index discussing the challenges of capturing housing costs in their index and why they have gone with owner occupier equivalent rent as a metric. Personally, I think they deliberately leave it out so they can push up house prices while exporting CPI inflation to low cost producing nations by offshoring everything possible.

Hi Charlie. Yes the economy is in a spiral but do you not think the mass migration happening to the uk right now will keep the market botany?

The market and price depends on how much debt a potential buyer can borrow. This is much reduced by the substantial increases in mortgage rate. The market is going down, big time, regardless of what an Estate Agent will say. These unrealistic reports will not have any effect, as confidence is not a substitute for money. Those saying these things are making themselves look foolish.

Pick surveyors carefully, my partner recently sold her house, the buyers surveyor failed to pick up. Major issues, damp, roof needed replacing, repairs at an absolute minimum. Didn’t pick up it was single skin, reported cavity. Not worth the paper it was written on. Good for the partner though!

We've had two houses in our road on the market for about a year. Ever hopeful they seem determined not to accept that they are asking far too much. Seems stupid as one of them is a probate sale and the family are already well off. The others want to move to a cheaper area so could do if they were realistic. But no, both are completely inflexible. Makes me wonder what goes through their minds

West Central Scotland. - A family member recently struggled to sell their two bed apartment. It was weeks on the market. They had one offer and only two viewers - at the entry level - first time buyer - end of the market. This was after nonsense from pitching estate agents who told them they would sell within two weeks, get many viewers and the sale would evolve into a bidding war. They then bought off market as that seller was also sick of estate agent nonsense. That says everything to me about what's happening in reality.

Thank you for this info Charlie. Found you just recently and you have been very helpful. We are looking to downsize from large family home to bungalow. The cost of the bungalow is almost the same and half the size. The issue is we have a huge family it’s stopping us from making decisions but i think the cost of running the property lower long term. Hi five Teddy.

Really appreciate this video, I don’t know why there isn’t some more common sense or logic applied to the situation. Things are not good, property is still very expensive, rates are still MUCH higher than they have been for a decade, there are still multiple global conflicts, one errant missile could genuinely cause chaos any day now. Essentially, the risk is extremely high and I don’t think house prices reflect that at all. For a first time buyer buying a 300k house, there is a very real chance you buy with a 10% deposit this year and the property is worth 270k in 12 months time…equity gone.

Charlie if i was a buyer i would watch your videos and convince myself theyre true. But they are not. I am a seller and ive just been offered asking price and have had multiple viewings. House prices will continue to increase and always will, bank rates will come down. Ill be out the market for a year then will be buying somewhere bigger, no regrets.

Well done for choosing a good agent and pricing correctly! If prices were rising I doubt you’d be out of the market for a year. That doesn’t make any sense.

So much of what you advise seems to assume best outcomes occur when one is not in a chain. Many of the choices one makes depend on the decisions of many other people including what is available to buy once you finally get sold. Who can afford to rent for several months ? Money down the drain and a major pain in the ass storing belongings and then paying for a second removal cost. It is hard to play hard ball when you are trading in your home.

totally agree on the businesses in trouble.

True, about nominal but still many think there has been an unaffordable house price boom since 2010! Not realising that it was probably the best time to have brought until 2020. I mean interest rate were so cheap that you could have paid off your house in 10 years. Today with interest rates at 6% and 30 years term that 200k house is going to cost you 600k + overall! Ok 600k nominal but 400k real terms is still 600 k to find!!

I lost over $70k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible.

In Scotland, they rose by 10.9% to an average of £944, and in Wales by 9% to £723. The data for Northern Ireland lags the rest of the UK, and the ONS reported a 9.3% rise there over the year to December 2023.

I've been saying for years that one factor that is vastly understated is location. We have what I call property hotspots in this country and they are in and around our cities and the south of England. People say houses are unaffordable and yet in my northern town one or two are actually sat empty and boarded up that they don't seem to be able to sell for any price. This is probably why a plan to build 6k new houses in the town has been kicked into the long grass for the last few years. What's the point in building any new ones when you can't sell the existing ones? It's good for people like me though who despite only earning £30k per year, (Which is a good wage for the town but not good compared to the uk average), because I bought my own three bedroom semi detached house on single person mortgage! My mortgage repayments are 1/8th of my monthly after tax income at £250pcm. The truth is we have a changing country. An example being my neice who was born and grew up in this town but is now going to university to study to become a medical researcher. That will mean after university she will move away from the town to a big city to do that kind of job. It also means towns like mine loose all their young people and are left with an older population whilst the cities become overwhelmed. This diparigy in housing denands and costs is all a consequence of regional inequality. If true levelling up had been carried out whereby the good, professional jobs were more evenly spread across the whole UK instead of beung concentrated in just a few cities then the people would spread spread themselves out more evenly and those property hotspots in such as London and Bristol could be relieved somewhat because people would be more prepared to live and work in towns like mine and take up that vacant housing. Then you wouldn't so much have the absurd situation we have in this country where you have someone like me on £30k in a northern town buying a 1800sq ft three bedroom semi detached house on a single person mortgage for £250pcm whilst such as in Bristol you've people on a wage three times mine camping roadside because they cant afford thousands a month in rent for a tiny flat.

"Transaction numbers are tumbling". Totally incorrect. Check the data. Houses are selling at a faster rate than they have been for a long time (Rightmove data). Wage inflation has been about 20% over the last 2-3 years yet property has reduced 3-5%. That's a 25% real terms decrease in house prices. Unemployment remains low. The markets are racing away as the rich have been sitting on millions and billions in savings but those rates are now no longer 5-6% so they've hammered their cash into the markets. Once savings rates are eroded and mortgage rates go down (could be a while) you'll get those same rich people throwing all their money back into property and then you'll get a 5-10% year on year growth again. I advertised a one bed flat to rent in Basildon last week. I had 75 different enquiries in 48 hours. There is no "guff" I'm afraid. Your parochial view as a pseudo journo has no empirical verity. You have no idea of the issue with shortage in the rental market or the real world. Rental prices have gone up around 10% over the last year simply because their simply isn't any affordable housing to buy or rent. Once the return on investment tips over a certain point you'll get investors and ordinary people piling back in and prices will sadly and ineluctably go up.

You can clearly see the difference prior, and after covid 19 and the US has never experienced such a rate of appreciation in the home market sector. This could be attributed to the subsidies given to BlackRock, Blackstone, and other big corporations that purchased residential real estate with free money at bargain prices while we the US regular folks were not given such a deal. Thus, at this time, the residential real estate market is in bubble territory as hardly anyone could meet the 28%, 36% front and back end ratios, respectively. Prices in residential will plunge as the economic cycle is bell-shaped and takes time to develop. Bybthevend of 2025, we would be able to better see it. The writing is on the wall, and we're already see the cracks in the residential real estate market.

Have you checked for structural issues or perhaps there's been a reason such as an extension that hasn't been approved. When you see big reductions - there's always a big reason.

@@SUSSYMEMES, okay. As long as you know what you're doing.

They BS because they have large amounts of skin in the game. The second they sell thier assets they will say it's all gone to s--t as they sail away .

at 24 mins : my take on that fractured sale and price...... years ago I read a buying your own home wee book from a newsagents in ringwood..... talked about bankrupt buyers..... I think the people looking at your 500-575k house don't have the money but see the property as aspirational (hence they like it) but irrespective of the reasons they don't have the dosh to proceed. meanwhile you have a bullish agents trying to pull the buyers up to a price point they can't meet. my advice would be get an agent in who have buyers with proven ability to get mortgage of say £535,000.

House prices will continue to rise but the currency will be devalued.

20% over 4 years is basically treading water.

There are estate agents that have been under valuing as well! Because some home are selling higher and others are selling lower… for the same properties and even smaller properties are selling higher… I’m talking about good properties with nothing wrong in them…

Savills have predicted that house prices will rise by 30 per cent over next 5 years. That equates to 4 per cent per year which is a standard increase since records began. Pretty safe bet if you ask me ! Compare house prices to other assets and house prices look very low. Boom is coming.

No chance. Also agents are over value.

The only way houses will increase in value in terms of £ is if there is a total capitulation of the currency in international markets - not impossible to believe based on high national debt and interest rates!

Some of the advice is good, some terrible 😃 If anyone else is bidding on a house I’m not interested? I live in an area where 5-6 offers per property at the moment for most places that I would want So what do I do just never offer or buy? Be sat here in 2 years doing the same

I agree that house prices are unlikely to rise, for the foreseeable future, but I don't think that there will be a significant decline in their nominal GBP value. This is because the gov will sacrifice the value of the pound, rather than let people see the value of their properties decrease.

Sacrificing the value of the pound means encouraging inflation, but as we've just had a couple of years of high inflation and will now have to deal with the economic fallout thereof, further sacrificing the value of the pound isn't an option and any efforts to do so will spook the markets just like the mini-budget did under Truss and Kwarteng.

Hi @@AM_o2000 thanks for replying. 'Encouraging inflation'? They already did that with all the money that's been created since the 2008 gfc, especially with the pandemic. Now they're facing stagflation, with their biggest worry being the banks, and probably people's perception of the value of their property. Both of these concerns can be solved by 'printing' more money, hence more inflation, and maintained perception of property value. When they can no longer continue this sham, they'll do another reset, which will undoubtedly involve a move to CBDCs. (Just my unqualified opinion)

​@@AM_o2000 So, what specifically is it that you're implying? Do you think that they're going to continue QT? I think that Sept 22 was more a blip, that briefly highlighted the damage that they've been hiding since 2008. This isn't a UK centric issue, but rather a 'developed world' one; all fiat currencies are dying. Again, it's the banks that they're most concerned about, and they'll continue to sacrifice everything else in order to protect them, which will likely maintain nominal property values, and consequently people's sense of financial security. There might be a short period of deflationary activity, but ultimately they'll do this until enough people realise what's going on and inflation becomes hyper-inflation.

@@seangallagher8233 In the simplest terms, I'm implying that the Government doesn't have the money to shore up the market, let alone try and boost it. As for QT (and interest rates), that's a matter for the independent Bank of England, so QE and interest rates aren't strictly in the Government's armoury. The Government will be looking at house prices and anticipating that there won't be a sizeable nominal drop between now and the general election and will refrain from introducing any demand-side measures, but I can foresee the Conservatives dangling a carrot for the electorate: 'vote for us and we'll introduce a stamp duty holiday', or suchlike. That won't spook the markets as much as a measure actually implemented, and will effectively serve as nothing more than a bribe to the traditional Tory voter base. Hyperinflation would be tremendously damaging to the economy.

Prices are determined largely by scarcity. The housing market has scarcity, so prices will keep on growing. However - demand for 'particular property' is always changing, so you cannot attach the 'scarcity' argument to the entire market. A flat is London is scarce. A bedsit in Middlesbrough is not. People tend to chase the same butterflies.

I literally saw this earlier and felt as frustrated as you. That was just before I rang around ten vendors who won’t reduce as it’s my expertise not the market

That’s good people not selling the longer the bubble the bigger the burst, another 2 years from now big drop in house prices, people think interest rate to go down? It’s actually going to hover around 5 if not even go up

Thanks. Aware. It’s undergoing an upgrade for larger volumes.

There sacrificing pound to keep the housing market over inflated. 0.6 growth is a lie, government spending has increased by 0.6%, and there now includedgouvenment spending. Most mp's have housing portfolios and all they care about is themselves. Gold price went up after the decision to keep interest rates on hold, that's not gold going up, its pound coming down.

The conservatives clutching to a straw, that's all it is

blow off top coming in markets, buy property up here be the bag holder.

The property ladder still exists. Ok previously you might have started buying a flat or that 1980s rarity a starter home😂 then a larger home. Now you would buy according to condition and climb the ladder that way. The best homes for that are Victorian renovations.
