More building material price inflation on the way.

[epsilonGreedy]

I get quarterly warnings of price increases from my main Builders Merchant, the latest just arrived. How long before the whole house building industry prices itself into an idle wait and see standoff?

 

Only a gambler would start a self-build today but I suppose these new-build inflationary pressures drive up the price of existing houses a touch.

 

This is what happens when big-state liberals think furlough & money printing is the best medicine to control a global pandemic!
