Interesting. So the amount they offiially have left would fit in the boot of a small hatchback. Not sure you'd be able to drive away, though Need to read their terms of reference. Are they compelled to restock? If so, from leases that can be unwould as a force majeure? Open market? Or just 'default' and settle in cash? Edit: Make Ire != majeure (although it is a prescient auto-correct!)

With hindsight it was inevitable. Wish I'd has the balls to trade it.

At my LTV and income multiples and for the size of mortgage the BoE was by far the best deal.

It can take a while. Canary Wharf is great now but it took over 20 years for it to get that way. That's a long wait and it could easily have gone the other way.

Only if you assume no ongoing demand for the family homes they are liberating.

I've also thrown in the towel. Buying in North London. Hoping to exchange tomorrow. Prices are up ~10-15% since I STRd.
