My daughter and son-in-law bought a new Bovis home near Petersfield about five years ago and paid around £450k for it.

Last Thurdsday an estate agent valued it at £750k. Good luck to her.

Shock horror he is talking basic economics. Nothing unusual, only affects those who have to sell. Might mean an improved outcome for first time buyers but if you are moving on you’ll just pass the reduction on from your sale to your purchase otherwise the deal will fall through.

We have been through this cycle twice already in my lifetime including the 15% interest rates, it’s part of the banks plan to get interest rates back to normal and make the average person on the street that little bit poorer. They do love doing that.

The cynic in me says the super rich will just mop up any property where they are desperate to sell. The internet is already littered with small companies looking to offer you cash for your home at massively reduced prices.

Answer is simple, if you don’t need to move and can afford to live where you currently are, stay put.

He informed my that some luxury apartments built in a development in Los Gigantes have all been sold for prices between £750,000 and £1.25 Mill.
