I'd love to see a £250,000 4 bedroom house, stick a 1 in front of that for here!
I appreciate what you are saying and agree to a certain extent but quite a few of these people will be looking to make as much as possible because they bought the house as a investment for the future and human nature being what it is they won't be happy if the house they are selling is worth 10-20 grand less than it was worth a year ago .As with most schemes like this though the proof of the pudding is in the eating ,so much depends on personal circumstances and future markets
