@lemonade you're st werburghs right? Re-assuring to know it was like that 5 years ago.
@LHL I'm gonna keep my hat in the ring but trying not to be tempted to pay over the (already inflated) odds for something for the sake of getting a house
They're not building anymore nice Victorian houses, all the developments are even more expensive (cooperation road one bs5, brook dye works in st werbs) and bs5 is becoming more desirable all the time I think, so it might keep going up. But in 5 years, would it really be 500k for a 2 bed house?

Yeah, I do acknowledge that. The reason I think bubble is partially the values, but also the way people are buying at the moment. Viewings full in 10 minutes, bids before viewings, bids at 10, 15, 20% over asking. It points, to me, at a collective urgency (for want of a better phrase) where getting a place comes before assessing the value of the house itself.
