...If the rules in place had been adhered to ie 3 times your salary a nice semi in the subburbs would now be around 90k....

That might be the case outside London, but prices round here are driven by market forces far more powerful than a bit of lax lending.

The way I see it, there has been an influx of foreign cash buyers particularly into the posher parts of the capital (Kensington, Mayfair etc), which in turn displaces existing wealth (City bankers etc) out into Chiswick and other leafy suburbs, causing a cascade of price increases throughout the local housing market.

I'm interested in why London seems to have increasingly become the favoured new home for the world's oligarchs. Is it the weather?
