Even though the bank base rate remained at 5.25 per cent this week, mortgage deals are still getting more expensive. It's the end of sky-high borrowing, so even though you can still get an 100 per cent mortgage it will cost you. And there is more bad news, with Halifax reporting a small reduction in house prices last month. To find out whether this is having an effect on the overseas market, watch this episode of 'The vital property market statistics', with the Bricks Chicks'

Brick Chicks? Shouldn't this be on Youtube?
David, Birmingham,
The non-dom will pay for his house with borrowed money so even if he is buying a GBP5million house he will put down a fraction of this amount. He does not even have to bring this amount into the UK since he could leave this equity portion in an overseas deposit account and give the lending bank security over it.

Interesting. So after the non-dom tax takes effect and all capital brought into the country is taxed at 40%, the Russian who is bringing in £5 million to buy a house today will need to bring in over £8 million to have £5 million left after tax for the same house. What will that do to housing prices? I doubt that house worth £5million today will be able to get £5 million this time next year.

Honey, it's pronounced the way it's written: Kazakhstan. NOT Kazkhshtan... It's not that complicated, is it?
