Rent has gone up massively in Cornwall since 1996
We rented a 3 bed house for £275 a month same house is now £650. My flat after finishing uni in 2002 was £75 a week split between two of us its now double that.

maybe areas that are popular with tourists are different?
i know what i get for the holiday home in cornwall is ten times more during the summer than during the winter, for example.

my dad has his beady eye on a penthouse in cornwall where the owner ran out of cash, so it's being sold by LPA receivers. i forget the figures, but say they want £300k. he put in a silly cash offer at £150k. they said no. he said, well, you know where i am. it's now on the market at about £190k and they are pestering him to meet in the middle. a sign of worrying times for home owners with high mortgages, i think. also the economist/actuarial ex is adamant that all the signs point to a housing market crash. eek.

Unless there's a housing market crash
I'm unlikely to be able to buy a place this decade.
