This is bad, if the housing market continues to “boom” then it will increasingly become harder for young people to get on the housing ladder, especially considering how much unemployment is rising.

Absolute Bullshit! Nothing is moving and more people are getting turned down for lending than ever.. the only way you have a chance of selling, Is to an totally cash buyer at a reduce price.. I know!! I have failed sales into double figures over the last two years!!!
As long as you've got 3o% deposit the banks will lend. Course shit hasn't hit the fan yet.
And straight into a housing bubble.
Let's hope it's not landlords bailing out and selling up, now the rental tax incentives have been reduced and tenants rights increased
How nagative are people here? You all have the Remoaner disease.
Bubble bursting in 3...2...1...💣

How does the rise in prices help us? 🤔
Those who know, know.
Soon crash when people lose their jobs and homes
Unless you get tested positive for COVID then you aren’t eligible. The housing market will soon crash if they continue with that
