Well I suppose if you and your neighbour open both windows at the same time you could share a teabag in one of those new estates.

Being that:
- the houses occupy so much of the land site, they can not be more than a arms length from the boundary.
- the amount you loose in build depreciation versus land appreciation will force similar budget cutbacks.

Smart money is and will always be on land well located to infrastructure or natural amenities.

I think I will now encourage people to move west or to new housing estates.
Then I will be assured more room in better locations

It's against the rules to post whole articles. It clogs up the board faster than a thingy that clogs you up!

You should post a link with an opinion piece or maybe a small relevant quote from the article.

Do it like this:

A sterling crash is a godsend
Britain has twice averted disaster over the past century by a timely – if humiliating – crash in sterling. In neither case was it obvious that this would lead to a decade-long revival in British fortunes.

There's an interesting article on Sydney house prices in the Telegraph today. Apparently the median house price has broken through the $600k mark to $610k. Influencing factors include: first-home buyers, low interest rates, an improving economy and a shortage of new homes.

Average Sydney house price is $610,000

im sure the future interest rate rises will start to clip back the rise a bit . Average mortgages are way too high as it is .
