    Don't you just love the definition...

    affordable - defined by Government as houses with mortgage repayments below the local market value

    A rarity definitely. But 6 years to complete?

    That seems to be the speed government runs - why do something in 6 months, when it can be dragged out for years.

    The Greater Brum Authority seens to getting really stuck in to its role: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/new...entry-13702211

    Watch the urban sprawl! All greenbelt land between Brum and the other areas will gradually be eroded.

    This looks ok, but I'm not sure about the steel & zinc coating: http://www.stratford-herald.com/7767...-approved.html

    I'm not a fan of a lot of cladding finishes that the building industry uses.

    Steel cladding can often end up looking like cheap warehousing. - I don't think I'd be buying.
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    A lot of greenbelt is being built on, but they're actually planning on redeveloping brownfield sites too!!

    It's scary how much house prices have risen in the last 20 years: http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/new...ntry-1-8261772

    It's a bubble and like all bubbles at some point it will burst. - Sadly, when it does people will get badly burned.

    I'm planning to sit tight where I am for at least 10 years, so am not too worried about house prices in the short-term. Having bought a property in the last 18 months, I can't afford to move; and, anyway, after putting all this effort into buying my place & getting it how I want it, I'm going to make the most of it!

    I bought a small 5 year old place in '91. It was well within my budget and I easily cleared my mortgage within 12 years. - One of the main reasons why I could retire early.

    My son has just bought and extended himself dreadfully: if (when) interest rates go up he has left himself no room for manoeuvre.

    Daughter is also on about buying in the first half of 2018, I hope she looks at things a little bit more conservatively, and listens to what dad advises.
