As we know there is an impending recession on its way.

How will it affect us?

How will it affect house prices and rental market?

What measures can we mere mortals make to prepare for it?

What do you all think?

Well recession will happen no doubt.How will it effect us?Well different for different people no doubt the poorest will fair worst as allways.

House prices I think will fall dramatically.Rentals we need to have government rules to control this one I feel.

Wages will be frozen in many industries and in the public sector some will do very ie the NHS but some others will do badly.

I think overseas holidays will go up in price so we will holiday more in England which will be good for the economy but not for Ryanair lol.

Unemployment will be very high probably for a couple of years.

Lets beat the pandemic first then worry about that allways we will get through this because us Brits are pragmatic and stubborn.

"There is a recession coming" dont buy that one bit.

So dont think house prices, jobs etc will change dramatically no.

Certainly nothing you can do unless you're in the top 5% of earners? In either case

The rich will stay the same or get richer, and the poorest in society will stay that way and others will join them..

There won't be any massive social overhaul as even on here the deflection pill is easier for some to swallow and keep the blame game going which those in power love..

Recession? Bit optimistic here aren't we?

A depression the likes we've not seen in recent memory will hit us like a sledgehammer. Absurdly high unemployment rate, crippling austerity measures are just a sample of what awaits us.

You'll likely experience a collapse of the global banking system as trillions of dollars of debt and junk bonds enabled by the casino called financial markets comes home to roost. Fiat currencies may well collapse (as they always do) and gold will again reign supreme. Governments as always, will betray the citizenry in favour of the banking cartel and corporations. The race to the bottom will be brutal and very few of us will be living better in the future than we are now.

All because most people and politicians are ignorant on how banking as we have it today works

The impending recession - or the mere possibility of a depression - is what has so many wankers bleating about how it's wrong to crash the economy just to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people they've never given a shit about.

They can't stand the idea that they may have to be disadvantaged in any tiny way, through no fault of their own.

Well, shit happens - even to them. They can suck it up, they have the means to do so.

Perhaps they'd best prepare to take the advice they always give the poor and the unemployed - and cut their cloth accordingly.

It's hard to believe they won't cope.

Sure, according to you none of it matters anyway, as being rich or poor makes no difference.

No one knows how bad the recession will be. No doubt people like Rees-Mogg, will use it to their benefit.

That’s not true, having lived through several recessions you certainly can and should take full control of your and your families situation. And btw - we are in recession now.

Increase your earning potential , there’s only so much you can save, much easier to earn 25% more with a 2nd job than save that amount . Get used to always living on 80% of what you earn. Invest in skills. Leverage cheap credit. Always care for your property or that investment becomes a cost

VAT is going to be increased, possibly 25%.

Inflation will be double digit.

As unemployment will increase, more repossessed property will be available on the market, will be a nice investment opportunity.

This virus will create new rich people.

It'll be beneficial for my children's generation if house prices do fall drastically. It won't affect me as I'm mortgage free. It may even make a better property, or a property in a more expensive area, potentially available to buy.

This government won’t allow 25% VAT or double digit inflation, even I would offshore if they did and I’m not particularly rich ! Unemployment will rise a bit in some sectors and house prices might lose 5% , - 10% in the SE the country will carry more debt but interest rates and inflation will stay low

I thought I'd heard that there is likely to be a push for people to be buying again. Which can only be done through low inflation. What do I know? Fuck all actually, it's not my area of expertise, even on fab

Yes, people with cash will be more reach. It will be like credit crunch in 2008.

High streets will be dead, walk in shops will be replaced with online shops.

Digital money will be introduced.

Haha ha I think it will be bad though. Job losses in hospitality will be huge due to social distancing. Our taxes will rise alot to cover the furlough scheme even though tax cuts are what's needed. A lot of employees will have to take pay cuts or salary freezes, property prices will drop, cost of living will go up and interest rates cant be cut much more.

And all of this before anyone even mentions th "B" word..

Not more reach? There’s nothing worse than that.

I live next to a lovely market town where pre Covid the High Street was thriving with Niche shops and great bars and restaurant. Sadly I don’t see some of them opening if people tighten their belts. It’s very sad as the High Street was badly affected back in 2008 and seeing the progress shattered in months is awful.

The property market could do with a plummet anyway.

I was going to buy another buy to let before this crisis happened. Think I will sit on it now and see what happens to the market.

Only one of my current tenants has been affected by a job loss so I have done what I can rent wise as a decent tenant for me is more important.

I see Gold as a way forward at the moment as my ISA’s are not worth the return. There is money to be made if you take a risk but it’s knowing where to go.
