Which isn't to say I think property is safe..<br /><br />What I don't understand is why people consider BTL owners worse than other types of investors.<br />Didn't a guy try to buy up all the coco in Europe not long ago?<br />Ok not an essential commodity.<br />But wheat for example spent most of the last 15 years around £100 per ton, often less, as low as £60, right now its around £190, more for the highest quality.<br />Speculators did the same around 2007-08 also, although now it may be more to do with inflation.<br /><br />The same happens with energy prices, the oil market was rigged even before the fake global warming scare, but now our own government forces prices up. Particularly of note with the bad weather.<br /><br /><br />"I need a mortgage now. I want to be a productive land-lady, not a feckless worker."<br /><br />Purely government policy to screw savers and try to push money into property to prop-up the banks.<br />Maybe the Land-lady is making the logical choice given her circumstances.<br />Yes complain about it, but blame the right target.<br /><br />This is infact typical of whats happened in Britain over the last generation. The elites have tricked one group of British people to blame another group of British people who problems caused by THEM!<br />(Not just refering to your post but also the article you link)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-48295281174776988982010-12-03T23:42:25.845+00:002010-12-03T23:42:25.845+00:00Welcome back Alice.

...Welcome back Alice. You've been sadly missed.<br /><br />But the bubble IS the UK economy, so all government policy will be dedicated to keeping it afloat.<br /><br />On the other hand I understand narrowboat prices are falling (classic supply and demand model) - so there might lay my answer.Marchamontnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948538160252327076.post-52062025826320327112010-12-03T23:23:04.107+00:002010-12-03T23:23:04.107+00:00Welcome back!
