UK population set to rocket by 10million in just 25 years

So says a story from The Daily Mail here - Rocket Pop

"The increase will be the most dramatic over the next ten years when the ONS predicts that Britain will have to find room for an extra 4.4million people."

"UK will be home to 74.3m people by 2039 - equivalent of adding Sweden"

This article makes positive reading if you're a landlord, but of course it could all be utter 
nonsense. The Mail needs to sell newspapers after all.

There are facts like people living longer and migration to take into consideration when investing in property though, it has always gone up in value over the long term.

Fancy a 1 Bed Flat For £70k - 6.77% Gross Yield!

Terrible Estate Agent Photos

Check out the latest photos from http://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com they have some brilliant one's, like this beauty:

Clean lines, excellent use of light, bathtub full of vegetables. Textbook.

Sometimes us agents do need a helping hand from the occupiers or owners, we're there to take the photos and market the property in the best way possible, not empty bathtubs full of vegetables! Haha.

Other times us agents are just idiots though:

1 Bedroom House, Marston Moretaine - 6% Gross Yield!

Here's a nice example of a 1 bedroom cluster home in Marston Moretaine, which in my opinion is a great place to invest. There's always good demand for rental properties there, and it has excellent road links to Milton Keynes, Bedford and the M1.

Good Looking Girl Wanted To "Get The Students In"

An advert on Twitter for a “good looking girl” to work in the front office of a property agent provoked a storm.

The advert was placed by Modelling Network in Cardiff.

A longer version of the advert appeared on Facebook, saying: “Looking for a good looking girl to work in the front office of a property agents in Cathays, Cardiff to get the students in.”

It was seen by no less than former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, who helpfully tweeted: “This is unlawful under Equality Act.”

Copying in Cardiff Central MP Jo Stevens, she demanded to know if the Equality and Human Rights Commission was going to do anything about it.

EHRC tweeted to say that it would investigate, and thanked Harman for bringing it to its attention.

Others joined in, with one tweet saying that not only was the advert unlawful but blatantly sexist, but some took the opportunity to hurl abuse at Harman.

Both the Tweet and Facebook posts have been deleted.
