WTF you on about bro?

I've never seen Wales as an expensive place to live. If I was to up sticks and move to Wales, I'd get far more for my money or have change left over. It's not the fault of the English if the Welsh are happy to take our brass.

Didn't @Chief move into Wales from England, there you go bruv, have a chat with him and ask how he managed it, but the Welsh kids can't. Maybe because the English kids get their arses ripped when they buy properties in England, but the English can play the advantage when we sell, and move to, guess where, I hear the Mumbles area is supposed to be a nice part of our lovely UK...

 

You haven't got a fking clue have you .

Pointless pointing out price's are high for us but not for English........its the English that pushed prices up by coming from cities and going rural with bags of cash us Welsh could only dream of getting wages wise.

Typical ignorant English **** you are fella...... Just glad you ain't all the fking same.

 

Love the rant

Fella if you stopped smoking all that dope, you might be able to afford the cost of living, but it's the same ole story, where a smackhead or an alcoholic, wants to blame people such as myself for being English, why they are so hard done by.

You're a waster and want to blame the English for your sins, I applaud you

 

If people stopped getting tested there would be loads of spare tests.

 

Same in Cornwall. Folk from London and the cities buy up all the nice houses and push up the prices for locals, due to ‘going market rate’ and supply and demand. It’s a double whammy down here at times because some folk will buy up 5-6 houses just to rent them out to holiday makers.

Local families can’t afford to buy houses, because whilst they are ‘cheap’ compared to London prices, it’s all relative because Cornwall, like a lot of Wales, is a low wage area.

 

@aberdude I'm proud to be English as much as I'm proud to be British, I'm sorry that offends you

 

You moved from the City bruv

 

I moved here from the country, but yeah I’m a Londoner originally. Not saying folk can’t move here and buy houses, but just pointing out the economics of it all.

Bought my house on a Cornish wage though, rather than some pot of cash earned in the city.

 

But those same economics affect everywhere, if a Londoner moves out the City to outside it's border, it pushes up prices, it's not unique to anywhere really.

 

Might move to Cornwall when I retire, it's nice down there, and from looking at house prices, yeah lovely stuff.

 

I'm so sorry for being a bad Englishman

 

Well the next move for me is in a couple of years, somewhere in or close to Hitchin, so by the time I sell that I should be able to buy my own village

 

I need to check prices again, didn't they slow a bit once all this virus stuff kicked off?

 

I promise not to move next door to @aberdude , actually I promise not to even move in the same street......or even Village as him. He's welcome to all his prefabs

 

Not looked all that much as it's a couple of years off, need to put a few ducks in a row before sorting that one out, after another 25 years I'll move away somewhere cheaper, who knows might be able to buy half of Wales

 

Yeah it does. All relative to wages and local prices. £500k will probs get you a 3 bed semi in London. In Wales you could probably by a small holding with that dough.

Cornwall house prices are really high these days due to its popularity and the lack of supply. Wages though haven’t kept pace and it’s virtually impossible for young people to get a foot on the ladder.

I managed to buy a house on a Cornish wage (it was a decent salary though) but my house cheap coz it was a wreck. And its nothing fancy. It hasn’t even got a TV

 

Can everyone stop getting sick?

 

Prices have gone barmy since stamp duty was temporarily removed. Houses fetching 10-15% over asking price in some areas with sealed bids being the order of the day again. It’s a false market though so buyer beware, as there’s reality on the horizon when the SD relief ends, furlough ends and then the dreaded B word just to finish the job off.

 

I don't buy my smoke.....i don't buy my third eye magic mushrooms either tiz all free in Wales......... Methinks you should have invested in some money in your third eye treatment fella it's much cheaper than bricks and mortar and way more interesting than mortgages payments
