So property prices in East Sussex have doubled in four years (September 3).

Have anybody's wages doubled in that period?

Apart from estate agents and financial institutions, who really benefits from this crazy state of affairs?

Certainly not the many people who are now effectively forced to stay living with parents or in expensive rented accommodation.

And what is the point of having lower interest rates on a new mortgage if you have to borrow twice as much?
