Oh, "don't believe everything you read in the papers" either.

Because...... you could still buy a good house for £300 and a few years later when slum clearance went on, some owners only got £50 for their house.

I used to enjoy reading through the old deeds of houses I bought and the house price inflation for many years was very low. It's a shame that houses are now registered as the bit of paper you get is abysmal compared to the sheaf of old deeds you used to get.
