craigowl 0 Posted November 25, 2007 This ad is from inside cover of 1971 "Motor" Road Tests. A brand new 2- bedroomed semi-detached villa in Ayr cost us £4750 in 1970. BMW 633 about 8% dearer at £5118 (including purchase tax?)! However, same house in 1973 went for £9250 IIRC. This was a period of fastest rising house prices we have known IIRC. For decades I have heard warnings of house prices falling - ain't seen anything significant in 35 years that I can recall. Are "they" trying to give us a bum steer? It would be interesting to read comments from finance/accountant/property experts on forum about any of the above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
