Seen a 3 bed house go up for rent in Merthyr yesterday £900 per month. New build but nothing special, small and located on a very busy road about 3 miles from town centre. People blinded by the fact it had a new cheap kitchen and brand new carpets. Someone from Cardiff “This is a steal, that would be £1400 where I live”. Nevermind that 4/5 years ago the rent for 3 beds was around 4/500 a month and has practically doubled in that time.

This so called “Levelling up” with London and SE message seems to have got confused somewhere along the way. Costs seem to be levelling up but not wages!!

It’s a race to the bottom
You'd think it can't continue really. At this pace in 20 years with how slow wages are rising. Then then BoE put out that nugget of advice to not expect pay rises in our jobs

They pulled the ladder up generations ago, but the basements only starting to flood
