- Comment on Average house price tops £300,000 for first time, says Halifax 2 days ago:
To be fair if it’s on a flood plain then it should be unsellable, mortgage providers and insurers might not want to deal with it.
- Comment on Average house price tops £300,000 for first time, says Halifax 2 days ago:
I wouldn’t say they’re small constraints because they’re not necessarily easy to fix. They could ease the load on the local authorities planning offices by hiring more staff or easing regulations, which will always drag on and take time. There’s the fighting with NIMBY’s in courts. And there’s also only so many builders in the country that can be on projects at any given time.
- Comment on Average house price tops £300,000 for first time, says Halifax 2 days ago:
There are huge house building projects going on, at least there are in my area. However there’s constraints as to how fast you can actually start these projects as you need to find suitable land, go through all the red tape and have enough resources (materials, people) to build them. So if demand keeps outpacing supply, the prices will still continue to rise.
Interestingly, I saw an article recently that average rents actually started to decrease, so maybe the increased supply is very slowly having an impact on the rental market.
Slightly off-tangent, but it frustrates me when sellers complain that they can’t sell their house and then take it off the market. No, you can’t sell it at the price you want, it’s obviously over-priced. If you were to knock off £50k or £100k, I’d guarantee that you’d be able to sell the house.

- Comment on One in seven food delivery businesses in England are ‘dark kitchens’, study shows 1 week ago:
Same. The guardian seem to have a bee in their bonnet about dark kitchens but I don’t see the problem. As a takeaway customer I don’t care that it came from a dark kitchen, as a customer of a restaurant I don’t want to have to wait 2 hours because the kitchen is dealing with take away orders!
- Comment on If a high profile dissident dies in an actual accident, a lot of people wouldn't believe it's an accident and assume the government did an assassination. 1 week ago:
Someone reminds me of Dr David Kelly in the UK. He was a key scientist involved in finding WMDs in Iraq in 2003, however he leaked to the BBC that the intelligence report given to the government was “sexed up” (the phrase used at the time) in order to favour an invasion into Iraq. It was discovered he was the source of the leak to the BBC and then was suddenly found dead in some woods near his home.
The official story is that he commited suicide, probably from the pressure and stress he was under, but the timing was so suspcious that obviously people think the government had him bumped off.

Maybe db0? At least based off what you’re after in your comments.
Of course there’s also the more regional instances, such as feddit.uk, lemmy.ca, etc.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
Change instance and block the lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml and hexbear.
