YBS 99% mortgage is a big problem now . Houses are going down and let`s just say it is not looking good as unemployment is rising badly . Many construction companies have gone into bankruptcy and many other sectors are bad now . When people bought a 400k house for 1%-1.5% now having to pay 6% interest will be a big wake-up rising from 1.2k to about 2.7-3k . The future will be really bleak but when you get companies like Savills talking bull this is what happens always before a crash . Some friends of ours bought a new build for 410k but now they are in negative equity and lost about 100k in the last 2 years.
I'm sorry to hear about your friends in negative equity. That is very very tough. Without doubt for a portion of the market, like your friends you reference, the current market is especially tough.
@@BritishHomeInvestors At the moment we are not buying and waiting to see what BOE does , as it stands we can afford a 280k-300k mortgage with 6% interest . We are not going to risk going in a debt trap as our rent is currently about 40% lower than it would be for a mortgage for the same house . We will try to buy in 2026-27 , just looking at what will happen as I think BOE will lower their rates maybe in late 2025 as UK does not have anything to show regarding GDP .
Certainly it will drop. Everything has its peak and then starts to fall. It’s logic and simple. You don’t need to be mathematician and historian to know this. Property prices are nearly at its peak.so I feel it’s right around 2026. Reducing interest rate might increase the value for short time but that will cause inflation to rise. Govt cannot balance this equation. Eventually there will be recession and drop in prices!!!!!!!
I am inclined to agree with your view that we haven’t seen the worst of repossessions or defaults. I also think this year will be one of the most difficult for those remortgaging even if there is a base rate reduction. Most will be remortgaging from circa 2% to 5% plus, which equates to an additional £475 per month on the UK average mortgage (£189500). To service this increase without impacting on their disposable income a base rate tax payer would need a £7,900 pay rise and a higher rate tax payer would need a £10,700 pay rise and that ain’t going to happen. So at worst mortgage payers aren’t going to be able to pay the extra cost of their new higher rate or at best have far less disposable income. If the number of defaults and repossessions increase, as I suspect, banks will become increasingly more stringent with affordability tests and reduce the size of mortgages they will offer to buyers. The knock on effect is current asking prices become unaffordable and sellers will need to drop their prices to sell. The last 12-18 months have been flat in terms of house prices and repossessions, but the housing market is a slow turning beast and now showing the signs that We’re seen before the 2008 down turn, I don’t think we will see what we saw in 2008 but definitely think we will see a reduction in prices. So the theory is ringing true at the moment, nut only time will tell if it is truly correct.
Thanks for the comment. If you can keep property long term and keep careful consideration over the debt it’s hard to go wrong. I’m personally not selling anything
@@BritishHomeInvestors I'm thinking if 5 percent rates are the new norm, I'd be better off selling and buying a smaller property and having more equity. Voids will hurt less and I'll be paying less in mortgage payments, and thus tax on those mortgage payments. I think the days of house price inflation might be behind us, so there is less of a wave to ride by having less equity in a bigger place. That's before I start ranting about addition rules being added to 3 bed houses to make them defacto HMOs in Portsmouth.
That makes complete sense to me. I’m being careful on debt levels and deliberately keeping mortgages low on buy to let’s that don’t yield as well. I know I could sell and buy different better yielding assets but I work on the mentality I buy to never sell. Just so much effort and time to buy and sell. Not sure if that is right or wrong!
@@BritishHomeInvestors I suppose it's dependant on if it's your full time source of money or not.

Completely agree. Unless I find good property opportunities, I park the excess in the S&P500 and global index funds. The part-time property investor is dying off in a way.
I agree. Adjusted for inflation house prices have dropped 16% over the last 2 years. I have a video coming out soon discussing this exact thing I’m more detail in a week or two. Titled has the house crash already happened? Thanks for the comment 🙏
Nice video. Followed Fred since 2006. The model explained the last cycle well. Before that, 1955-1990 saw growth every quarter so model did not fit at all. This cycle, period from 2022 Q3 to now its fallen 5% - bigger than the mid-cycle at a time it is meant to be booming! If you correct for real prices on the x-axis it gets over these issues but then looks like the cycle peaked in 2022 Q3 so 4 years early. Personally, feels like 2010-11 to me, yields are there and we are back out shopping.
A fair and interesting analysis that could have benefited from consideration of real terms as well as nominal terms. For example, house prices only recovered from the 2008 financial crisis in real terms in 2021.
Agreed 100% I funnily enough have a video coming out soon titled, why has the housing market not crashed. Which shares the reality of house prices relative to inflation dropping 16% over the last couple years. In the 07 crash they dropped 20% relative to inflation so we’ve not been far off that correction… but this time no one has really realised it! I would enjoy your comments and insights on future videos!
With 3.5 million illegal immigrants entering the uk every 5 seconds along with everyone else arriving as well, I think supply and demand will dictate as usual with inevitable increase in prices.
They will eventually. Unrealistic prices. You don't have to research this or have fancy degree's. It stands to reason. If average prices is about £3500.00 and the price increases, but wages / salary dies not increase whichis much slower in comparison. Something bad is going to happen. I don't think its if that happens, I think it's when????
@@BritishHomeInvestors It would be cool to get a video on your thoughts and possibly advice for young first time buyers (like myself). I watched your "Why you should not buy a home video" and agree with the points. However i already have some of my own business investments on the go alongside my 9-5 and looking to get out of renting now as i've probably lost about 50k over the last 6 years renting, also desperately needing my own real space at this point in my life. I think we will see a small drop in house prices, i've already seen some in my local area in south manchester from the usual 500k+ bonanza - but i feel with the sharp population increase and economic stagnation the income to house price ratio will further increase, making getting on the property ladder more crucial than ever.

Your self declared ‘uneducated views’ I think are spot on! Great idea on the video idea. I’m definitely going to produce something on the topic. My advice in short is getting good at house hunting without emotion. Find the opportunities to pick up a discount which is usually linked to events like fall through or the agent mismanaging the sale. As a software engineer I imagine you are very methodical. So create a spreadsheet or similar and keep track of any properties you like and keep track of time on the market, price changes and price you’d be happy to pay. Importantly keep track of properties falling through and keep communication with agents about your position and price you’d consider on each property. Periodically keep calling the agent as most agents are purely reactive. If you keep doing that, you will eventually have an agent call you and go, ‘you know that property you like, they’d actually now consider your offer if you can move quickly’ Just keep consistent with a methodical approach and something great will eventually come up.
@@BritishHomeInvestors Sounds great! Not heard anything like this in all the research i've been doing so seems like sage advice. I'll definitely try this - with luck i might be able to get a property in my home town that i'm priced out of
Another factor to consider is that Labour is coming to power with smashing majority in several weeks. I expect that they'll go hard after all investors- rent controls, progressive tax on each additional property, more tenant rights...They will start to dump their properties in the market...
@@BritishHomeInvestors Of course there will be some opportunities. In every business there are. But the question is whether it will be worth anymore.

@SycAamore Very true. I think if your focused on simple buy to let investing. Buying & just renting without any other value add, then it is definitely worth considering index funds instead. Maybe have a bit of property to diversify. But if you buy to develop, to build, then property can still be incredibly profitable.
Rich people like to invest in property. They ultimately pass this down to their families...House prices will go much much higher..helped by the lack of building in recent years and increase in demand
@@lgx2410 that’s me right now. I sleep well despite all the economic uncertainty. Maybe things will be more predictable by the back end of 2025/beginning of 2026. There may actually be a dramatic increase in the yawning gap between gold prices and property prices 🤝
What is a Crash in Mordern Day Terms. For me a Crash would be 75% Drop in Housing Across the Board all Properties and. Double digit interest rates will slow down Inflation which is what the goal should be.
@@BritishHomeInvestors Its not the interest rate its the Price of Houses. Interest rates have been to low for to long which is why housing is so high Sure low interest rates will allow you to buy things but you will Pay more for them. Would you rather have an 11% interest rate on $100.000 or a 3% interest rate on $500.000 ? Which Payment of the two examples would you Prefer? Its the same thing with cars it's the Price not the interest rate. The goal should be lower inflation unless you like Paying more for the things you need and want.
With your example it would depend on if I had the cash or not. High interest rates make cash more valuable, low interest rates make cash less valuable. I’d rather have 11% interest and pay 100k if it was for a like for like property
@@BritishHomeInvestors What i gave you was a Hipothecal yes cash is king in certain situations. But if something cost $500,000 and Hundred of People want it you're going to Pay the same as everyone else. In some cases you may Pay more because you're in a better financial Position to do so. I can Respectfully agree to disagree we just have two different Perspectives.
clown) if the prices crash that mean people can't afford to buy it anymore, because you lost your job or because mortgage rates will be high. Some people probably will benefit from this but most likely those who got more money people that can't afford right now to buy a house most likely won't be in a better position.
I think this is incorrect, a crash entails prices dropping from 40% or more. This wasnt the case in 2008 they dropped between 10-20% and this persons graph says 14-18 years so the crash should have happened now which it has not. A crash will only happen when theres 1 million houses being built year on year by the government for 5 or so years. To give you context the government has built 230,000 homes in 2023; supply is the biggest factor.
Thanks for the comment. I think you raise completely valid points. The one thing I'd add is although nominal house prices have stayed steady over the last couple of years. Adjusted for inflation they have dropped 17%. Inflation has done a lot to distort house prices.
@@user-sr9us7kv5r Supply will increase gradually due to unaffordable mortgages and high cost of living. Govt won’t be able to balance the equation of high inflation and interest rate. This will cause recession, job losses and repossessions. Supply will automatically increase to the level you will houses in each street. This will be global event- what will they name it? I don’t know. 2008 called GFC.
Look, I studied Economics from the university of Landlords, pimps and dealers, so I know that house prices and landlord rents are going to the moon, and then they are going to Mars and probably they will go interstellar and then intergalactic.
prices of houses in UK are insane they've gone up x4 to x10 times in 20 years more than anywhere in the world but fres is wrong due to supply and demand and the end game is house prices going up so nobody can afford them. Blackrock will buy them and rent them back under UBI
@alanevans9604 You’re not alone in thinking a recession could impact house prices, and it’s definitely something to watch. That said, the data right now shows a mixed picture-while some areas are seeing price drops, others are still experiencing growth. For example, buyer demand is at a two-year high, and transaction volumes are increasing, which could keep prices from stagnating as quickly as some expect. Of course, local markets will vary, so it’ll be interesting to see how things play out where you are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👍
Given enough predictions, one will inevitably be right. Government policy has arguably been the biggest factor in UK price trends. Rising prices has been winning elections. There are a lot of voters without homes now.
Thanks for the comment. Agreed. However which government? Often US policy on interest rates drives UK Bank of England policy. Market crashes aren’t confined to our borders, but often mirrored across western economies. What do you think? Could you elaborate?
Global interest rates generally move as a herd but UK government policy backed rising property prices. Inheritance tax benefits, government rheotic, lax BTL rules, no capital tax, help to buy, stamp duty holidays, underwriting lender risk, foreign buyer rules, sanctioning 40 year mortgages etc. The list list is long. Price to earnings matters and is now badly skewed. This has serious implications for the future and not forgetting those who now simply work to pay the mortgage. Political incentives created the boom. Today 25% of the working age population are not in work. Incentives are changing.
Incredibly insightful and I completely agree. I hope I’m not pushing my luck to ask what you think will happen? I suspect even with a change of government. The system is a giant ship with a very small rudder.
People will need your live omwwhere, but it's increasingly hard to live in one or buy a property because of the price property isnow. Hardly, any social housing.. may be we can move in caves and bus shelte's when it all crashes and come tumbling down. Lol😅
@@soccersprint LOL prediction is 2026 . I greatly think this will materialise by then. Job losses in increasing, talbot steel 2600 jobs. Imagine you were employee of bankrupt company and had high mortgages. You know what will happen if they don’t get another job with same pay scale.
How many predictions did he make though? If he made 30 predictions and these 2 came true…. I could predict a crash every year for the last 40 years and be right twice
@@BritishHomeInvestors wasn't really a crash, but more a drop from their peak where houses were very overvalued. Also the situation and circumstances were extreme for example the huge peak prices at the time was fueled by easy access to debt and a boom in mortgage lending, back then loans were offered at scale to borrowers with poor credit histories (most of these loan companies bust now too like Wonga). As these borrowers defaulted led to loss in confidence. There was the collapse of Lehman Brothers and then banks became unwilling or unable to lend money. This lack of credit availability further made worse the decline in house prices, as potential buyers found it difficult to secure mortgages. All of this context needs to be put out there 🙂. Overall demand will continue to outstripe supply so that will always mean prices rising. Better to get on the market now then wait... Trying to predict market forces is impossible... But buying a house now is less risky than renting and hoping prices crash.... Thanks for your content 👍
@@BritishHomeInvestorsI am not good enough to do your job and best content 😂 but I do think worth exploring proportion of population renting historically vs today. I wouldnt be surprised if this is sky high meaning sensitivity to buy is higher as more people want to stop renting but also the wealthy will be ready to buy as soon as property is on market to take advantage of the rental demand.... My opinion is that it's landlords and 2nd time buyers who have driven prices up above market values. I think good to highlight how the situation we have today is crazy😢... Problem with house prices is if they are over valued all the time (but at same time value of what people are prepared to pay) , any drop off in price will be eaten up by investors shifting prices back up immediately (high interest rates for first time buyers don't help) so whether we see that actual drop off might happen but will be invisible to most. Keep doing what you are doing 🙂, apologies if I might have come across negative. 👍.. Appreciate you responding to comments
No apology needed! You have shared brilliant comments that are thought provoking. The last time house prices were as high as a multiple of earning was in the 1800’s but between 1845 to 1911 house prices dropped 23% and earning rose 90%. How? There was a massive push to build more homes. A doubling of housing from 3.8m to 8.9m homes. There are currently 30m homes. So that would be the equivalent of the uk building 40m homes over the next 56 years, about 720k homes a year. Interestingly back then, 75% of property was rented. It really demonstrates how much supply we need to inject to actually dent the market. I think I’ve just outlined a topic for a future video! Thank you for the inspiration!
Fred harrison is predicting a fall similar to that iof the roman empire in his august 2024 video filmed in his garden my money is on fred the man is a socialist and a genius
But recent data indicates that the UK experienced a 0.7% GDP growth in the first quarter of 2024, and this growth trend has continued into the second quarter, showing stronger-than-expected economic activity for the first half of the year
Thanks for the comment. Does that make my thoughts wrong? I’m not sure what you mean? Could you elaborate? Ultimately my interest is in a market that’s growing and a market that encourages transactions irrespective of if prices go up or down.
House prices have peaked around August 2022 and if you adjust it to inflation house prices have already fallen by 16%. Money printing doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon, Housing demand is as high as it has ever been and there is simply not enough supply to meet the demand. Don't try to time the market...just buy when you can and any dip will be short-lived for sure!
HAHAHAHAH Funniest prediction ive seen in a while. Even the most negative people have given up on calling a crash... Two words... LABOUR. IMMIGRATION. That is all!
It depends how you look at it. House prices relative to inflation have fallen 16% in the last 2 years. However I agree. Nominal house prices won’t crash. I’m just trying to share different perspectives.
More people.......less houses..... Lower wages...... higher prices..... Higher crime... Displacement of natives.. Divided communities... The economic advantage is pretty much nill. Any claim we are better off financialy has already been debunked. The only advantage or gain is for the richest, and those who intend to take everything you own and change society forever... WEF....you'll own nothing and be happy. In other words.. your all equally worthless.

Is 2024 The Worst Year to Buy a House

@@lgx2410 that’s me right now. I sleep well despite all the economic uncertainty. Maybe things will be more predictable by the back end of 2025/beginning of 2026. There may actually be a dramatic increase in the yawning gap between gold prices and property prices 🤝
As you know we are currently coming out of a silent crash
Yes correct. Adjusted for inflation prices have dropped 17%
What is a Crash in Mordern Day Terms. For me a Crash would be 75% Drop in Housing Across the Board all Properties and. Double digit interest rates will slow down Inflation which is what the goal should be.
Thanks for the comment. Why should that be the goal out of interest?
@@BritishHomeInvestors Its not the interest rate its the Price of Houses.
Interest rates have been to low for to long which is why housing is so high
Sure low interest rates will allow you to buy things but you will Pay more for them. Would you rather have an 11% interest rate on $100.000 or a 3% interest rate on $500.000 ? Which Payment of the two examples would you Prefer? Its the same thing with cars it's the Price not the interest rate. The goal should be lower inflation unless you like Paying more for the things you need and want.
With your example it would depend on if I had the cash or not.
High interest rates make cash more valuable, low interest rates make cash less valuable.
I’d rather have 11% interest and pay 100k if it was for a like for like property
@@BritishHomeInvestors What i gave you was a Hipothecal yes cash is king in certain situations. But if something cost $500,000 and Hundred of People want it you're going to Pay the same as everyone else. In some cases you may Pay more because you're in a better financial Position to do so. I can Respectfully agree to disagree we just have two different Perspectives.
Thanks for the comment. I agree inflation being under control matters.
Sure hope so man! 😊 so i can finaly buy for fair price
Thanks for the comment. Good luck with the house hunting!
clown) if the prices crash that mean people can't afford to buy it anymore, because you lost your job or because mortgage rates will be high. Some people probably will benefit from this but most likely those who got more money people that can't afford right now to buy a house most likely won't be in a better position.
It is a bit of a chicken and egg situation.
@@DioKasius got money for down , work in health takes 0.1sec to find a job , no kredits . So yeah , could be great for me 😁 cant wait for crash !!!
Fair points
I think this is incorrect, a crash entails prices dropping from 40% or more. This wasnt the case in 2008 they dropped between 10-20% and this persons graph says 14-18 years so the crash should have happened now which it has not. A crash will only happen when theres 1 million houses being built year on year by the government for 5 or so years. To give you context the government has built 230,000 homes in 2023; supply is the biggest factor.
Thanks for the comment. I think you raise completely valid points.
The one thing I'd add is although nominal house prices have stayed steady over the last couple of years. Adjusted for inflation they have dropped 17%. Inflation has done a lot to distort house prices.
@@user-sr9us7kv5r
Supply will increase gradually due to unaffordable mortgages and high cost of living. Govt won’t be able to balance the equation of high inflation and interest rate. This will cause recession, job losses and repossessions. Supply will automatically increase to the level you will houses in each street. This will be global event- what will they name it? I don’t know. 2008 called GFC.
Time will share the outcome
Look, I studied Economics from the university of Landlords, pimps and dealers, so I know that house prices and landlord rents are going to the moon, and then they are going to Mars and probably they will go interstellar and then intergalactic.
Great comment! You are most likely right!
prices of houses in UK are insane they've gone up x4 to x10 times in 20 years more than anywhere in the world
but fres is wrong due to supply and demand and the end game is house prices going up so nobody can afford them. Blackrock will buy them and rent them back under UBI
Second paragraph nails the situation.
Agreed as well thanks for the comment
....or people will just live in a caravan parked in the street. Already happening in Bristol.
That sounds terrible! 😢
You've nailed it my friend. Brace for impact
How are people that didnt buy in 2008 doing now? I remember they were waiting for prices to go down 90%. Seems the same now and i bet it is
👍
Not sure properly will flat line wage growth +inflation 3% at the end of year energy prices dropping 100% interest rate drop
Thanks for the comment. Will be interesting to see what happens!
With a recession on the way due to this government, house prices should stagnate in a year or two.
@alanevans9604 You’re not alone in thinking a recession could impact house prices, and it’s definitely something to watch. That said, the data right now shows a mixed picture-while some areas are seeing price drops, others are still experiencing growth.
For example, buyer demand is at a two-year high, and transaction volumes are increasing, which could keep prices from stagnating as quickly as some expect. Of course, local markets will vary, so it’ll be interesting to see how things play out where you are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👍
Please make it happen !!!!
Thanks for the comment.
What happen? The market crash? Why?
@BritishHomeInvestors maybe so he can afford a house?
I think it will help many afford a house. Prices are pretty mental atm.
blah blah blah, property was supposed to crash in 2023 lol
I mean this is a market that crashes slowly. Personally, I got a sweet deal on a home I closed on last month roughly 20% below market value.
Thanks for the comments. Congrats on the purchase!
Hows that ? @@Ravi-rl8tt
How’s what? The 20% below market value purchase?
Oh it’s crashing trust me it’s crashing just as expected, property prices slide nice and slow.
Great video
Thank you 🙏
Given enough predictions, one will inevitably be right. Government policy has arguably been the biggest factor in UK price trends. Rising prices has been winning elections. There are a lot of voters without homes now.
Thanks for the comment.
Agreed. However which government? Often US policy on interest rates drives UK Bank of England policy. Market crashes aren’t confined to our borders, but often mirrored across western economies. What do you think? Could you elaborate?
Global interest rates generally move as a herd but UK government policy backed rising property prices. Inheritance tax benefits, government rheotic, lax BTL rules, no capital tax, help to buy, stamp duty holidays, underwriting lender risk, foreign buyer rules, sanctioning 40 year mortgages etc. The list list is long. Price to earnings matters and is now badly skewed. This has serious implications for the future and not forgetting those who now simply work to pay the mortgage. Political incentives created the boom. Today 25% of the working age population are not in work. Incentives are changing.
Incredibly insightful and I completely agree. I hope I’m not pushing my luck to ask what you think will happen?
I suspect even with a change of government. The system is a giant ship with a very small rudder.
wrong. If it is an economic cycle, which it is, how can government policy be the main factor.....
Good question, what are your thoughts?
no chance of a crash when a million plus people are moving to UK every year
Agreed 💯
Do they have the deposits to afford to buy a house in the UK. Demand without the resources to buy is just desire.
@@lorriejinx they are living somewhere. if not buying then private renting
Agreed 💯

Wait. Don't buy now. Buy after crash
What if you can buy something at 5-10-15% below market value?
People will need your live omwwhere, but it's increasingly hard to live in one or buy a property because of the price property isnow. Hardly, any social housing.. may be we can move in caves and bus shelte's when it all crashes and come tumbling down. Lol😅
Fair points!
whatever. still waiting for all these price crashes but nothing is crashing
🤞
@@soccersprint
LOL prediction is 2026 . I greatly think this will materialise by then. Job losses in increasing, talbot steel 2600 jobs. Imagine you were employee of bankrupt company and had high mortgages. You know what will happen if they don’t get another job with same pay scale.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
How many predictions did he make though? If he made 30 predictions and these 2 came true…. I could predict a crash every year for the last 40 years and be right twice
Fair point. Guess enough times and you’ll be right
Immigrant population grew by 750,000 people last year. Where are they going to live?
Good question
Lots of them in one house?
There is certainly an increase in hmos
They have been saying this since 1999
Thanks for the comment.
Did we not see a crash in 07-08?
@@BritishHomeInvestors wasn't really a crash, but more a drop from their peak where houses were very overvalued. Also the situation and circumstances were extreme for example the huge peak prices at the time was fueled by easy access to debt and a boom in mortgage lending, back then loans were offered at scale to borrowers with poor credit histories (most of these loan companies bust now too like Wonga). As these borrowers defaulted led to loss in confidence. There was the collapse of Lehman Brothers and then banks became unwilling or unable to lend money. This lack of credit availability further made worse the decline in house prices, as potential buyers found it difficult to secure mortgages. All of this context needs to be put out there 🙂. Overall demand will continue to outstripe supply so that will always mean prices rising. Better to get on the market now then wait... Trying to predict market forces is impossible... But buying a house now is less risky than renting and hoping prices crash.... Thanks for your content 👍
You’ve put that perfectly.
I completely agree 👍
Any ideas for my next video title? To put this context out there?
@@BritishHomeInvestorsI am not good enough to do your job and best content 😂 but I do think worth exploring proportion of population renting historically vs today. I wouldnt be surprised if this is sky high meaning sensitivity to buy is higher as more people want to stop renting but also the wealthy will be ready to buy as soon as property is on market to take advantage of the rental demand.... My opinion is that it's landlords and 2nd time buyers who have driven prices up above market values. I think good to highlight how the situation we have today is crazy😢... Problem with house prices is if they are over valued all the time (but at same time value of what people are prepared to pay) , any drop off in price will be eaten up by investors shifting prices back up immediately (high interest rates for first time buyers don't help) so whether we see that actual drop off might happen but will be invisible to most.
Keep doing what you are doing 🙂, apologies if I might have come across negative. 👍.. Appreciate you responding to comments
No apology needed! You have shared brilliant comments that are thought provoking.
The last time house prices were as high as a multiple of earning was in the 1800’s but between 1845 to 1911 house prices dropped 23% and earning rose 90%.
How? There was a massive push to build more homes. A doubling of housing from 3.8m to 8.9m homes.
There are currently 30m homes. So that would be the equivalent of the uk building 40m homes over the next 56 years, about 720k homes a year. Interestingly back then, 75% of property was rented.
It really demonstrates how much supply we need to inject to actually dent the market.
I think I’ve just outlined a topic for a future video! Thank you for the inspiration!
Fred harrison is predicting a fall similar to that iof the roman empire in his august 2024 video filmed in his garden my money is on fred the man is a socialist and a genius
Time will tell!
I thnk you could be right with your predictions in 2026 ...if Russia launches a nuclear strike on the UK , all houses will topol to an all time low 😂😅
Oh dear! Well let’s hope that never happens!
Or not. Housing prices dont crash in the same way as a stock. If you dont have to sell, you wont see a crash as there is a under supply of housing
Thanks for the comment.
crash will happen after June 2027
I guess time will tell
Please crash by 500% now
😂 500%?
Clickbait BS
Thanks for the comment. I’m sorry you feel that way.
Dragflation has arrived. Expect much change.
Is that a bad thing?
@@BritishHomeInvestors the decline in the economy & an increase in inflation isn't a good thing.
But are we in a state of dragflation?
@@BritishHomeInvestors 100%
But recent data indicates that the UK experienced a 0.7% GDP growth in the first quarter of 2024, and this growth trend has continued into the second quarter, showing stronger-than-expected economic activity for the first half of the year
To much drug money for anything to crash sorry
Drug money?
What a surprise…. A man with a vested interest peddles a prediction that suits that interest! Who’d have thought it!😂😂😂
Thanks for the comment. Does that make my thoughts wrong?
I’m not sure what you mean? Could you elaborate?
Ultimately my interest is in a market that’s growing and a market that encourages transactions irrespective of if prices go up or down.
House prices have peaked around August 2022 and if you adjust it to inflation house prices have already fallen by 16%.
Money printing doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon, Housing demand is as high as it has ever been and there is simply not enough supply to meet the demand. Don't try to time the market...just buy when you can and any dip will be short-lived for sure!
Thanks for the comment. Makes complete sense 👍
HAHAHAHAH
Funniest prediction ive seen in a while. Even the most negative people have given up on calling a crash...
Two words... LABOUR. IMMIGRATION.
That is all!
It depends how you look at it. House prices relative to inflation have fallen 16% in the last 2 years.
However I agree. Nominal house prices won’t crash. I’m just trying to share different perspectives.
Can't spend all your lives .
Thanks for the comment.
What do you mean by that?
Dream on.
Thanks for the comment. Could you elaborate?
immigration...
Thanks for the comment. What are the pro’s and con’s?
To stop the flow of immigration, we would need to bring in more immigrants to police our borders .
????
More people.......less houses.....
Lower wages...... higher prices.....
Higher crime...
Displacement of natives..
Divided communities...
The economic advantage is pretty much nill. Any claim we are better off financialy has already been debunked. The only advantage or gain is for the richest, and those who intend to take everything you own and change society forever... WEF....you'll own nothing and be happy. In other words.. your all equally worthless.
Thanks for the comment. Is there no concern over population collapse?
This crash will never happen and by 2026 noone would remember this video !!
Haha very possibly!
