Back in the UK

I'm back in the UK after a lovely holiday in Antigua.
A s usual the first thing you notice is the general rudeness of a large number of people and the high levels of stress in London.
And yes, I see property prices are still marching ever upwards.
Whilst away I read PR for Dummies (twice) and Fly to Let (once) by Peter Conradi of the Sunday Times. A very good book I thought and I'll comment more on this later in the week.
You know when all is said and done about investing anywhere one of the key things you need to ask is what will happen with supply of property.
If I was looking at buying anywhere in the UK or abroad I would find the local equivalent of a surveyor and ask them that question.
It's more important than wage ratios to house prices and all that gumpf.
If they are going to (or have the ability) to build build build on your patch of wherever it happens to be, then prices and rents wont go up much.
