I wouldn't fancy buying a new build......And if you think farming is bad for idiots try employing in the building game

We currently have a good job going here but can't seem to find anyone suitable or people just let you down and don't answer their phone .Is this other people's experience
You forgot to add one important influencer on the ability to pay.Life's so easy in the uk....
Average house price in the 1970s was £4.057.
Average wage was £3,594. House = 1.13years salary.
2020: Average house price: £268,349
Average wage: £31,285 House = 8.58 years salary
Materials prices jumping every week ,now white deisel in the builders machinery ,all the other price hykes,,nobody has got anything to spend on building work now ,,just living is costing too much.
Had two jobs cancelled yesterday ,,customers couldn't afford it.
I've been at home all week, nothing to do
A family of 5 gets around 1700 a month just on benefits if they play the system!!
....no too much incentive to go out to work
In the builders merchant on Friday ,they said the same .The bubble is going to burst big time in the construction sector and then they’ll be hundreds of thousands unemployed. Interest rate rises, inflation will stop people buying houses. I know plenty with good jobs who were thinking of moving house or extending existing houses. Pretty much all of them have shelved the idea.
Alot of folks have given up full time work and moved into farming .Most people would love to be in a situation where their rent/mortgage, electric bill, Council tax, car, pick up, RFL motor fuel etc. all comes out of the "farm" account.
Got the figures of the local newspaper website which produced a table of the 'benefit increases' that were coming jn as from the 1st April.
...plus we have tenants living on 'benefits' and they aren't living too badly !!
Shots firedSo you are complaining about a Benefits system that allows your tenants to pay pay you money that they otherwise wouldn't be able to give you?
How did you get to own the house the tenants are living in? Through subsidised farm profits or because you inherited untaxed wealth?
There are currently around 1.5 million unfilled job vacancies in the UK, why should anyone be unemployed ?The bubble is going to burst big time in the construction sector and then they’ll be hundreds of thousands unemployed.

Ever the optimist!The bubble is going to burst big time in the construction sector and then they’ll be hundreds of thousands unemployed. Interest rate rises, inflation will stop people buying houses.

No, chance.Ever the optimist!
But, I think you are right the current house prices are unsustainable and need a good correction without the Government bailout this time.
C'mon people, cut the benefits crap.

The amount of people in full time employment is going up, those in temp employment is going down. Annual pay increases currently stand at 4.3%, The only thing that can put a spoke in the wheel, is the Chancellor and the Bank of England.Actually just over 3%, but that’s at the moment. Give it 12 months and it could easily double if it all goes wrong.

A fair percentage of the unemployed are serial scroungers,,they have been all their lives and have no intention of getting a job ,,got some in this village .C'mon people, cut the benefits crap.

The actual figure for long-term unemployed is quite low. However, I bet we all know plenty in our Industry who are quite happy to do as little as possible and take to loot.A fair percentage of the unemployed are serial scroungers,,they have been all their lives and have no intention of getting a job ,,got some in this village .
The kids look at their parents who have been swinging a lead for years and follow them,,more than happy to be little scrotes causing trouble instead of making something of year lives
