| How about Belfast? Now that there is "peace" there, house prices have gone utterly mental - I forget the road names etc, but a house on one of the most infamous streets that you couldn't have given away 10 years ago sold for about £800,000 at auction recently (!) That seems to be a bonus from governmental intervention in local conflict to me...? | |

Yes, prices in NI and particularly Belfast have gone bonkers.
Even to the extent where the average price in NI is higher than England. It's a bit of an unsustainable bubble to be honest and looks like it might be about to burst. I'm hoping so, anyway
Ironically, if I hadn't left Ireland for Switzerland I could have 'earned' as much through buying a house then and cashing it in by selling it now as I managed to save with quite a lucrative job in Switzerland in the same time period..... Oh well, at least I got a lot of skiing and mountain-walking in.
