RE: Treasury weighs extending UK mortgage scheme to help first-time buyers8 Oct 2022 10:03
Triumph 1
We get slaughtered for stating the obvious because it’s not in the interest of many to hear the truth. In 2020 in lockdown the government handed out money like confetti and didn’t think it was inflationary!.
The house prices have gone up over 50% in many cases in two years when no one was working as a result in many cases. This was always going to fuel inflation and unfortunately our children will be burdened for decades to come. I know loads of builders who demanded cash for jobs in lockdown to get the grants etc. A pathetic scheme that fuelled fraudulent claims which has been written off.
Anyway I hope the Government stop taxing the working class and focus on nearly non paying organisations such as McDonalds, Amazon, Facebook etc who send our money abroad and pay next to no tax.
Time for a real change to clear public debt and stop taxing already burdened citizens of the UK.
If they don’t then our children will struggle to afford there own homes given the cost of living.
Anyway I still think house prices will fall 10-20% which don’t help house builders or current home owners. I also think it will last for years not months and I expect repossessions to rise next year and job losses to increase
