Buyer's Guide (2) : "The Bullish Economist"

Economist John Wriglesworth of the Wriglesworth PR company has long been a bullish reader of the market and takes the opposite view. He insists that no-one with plans to stay put for a few years should be afraid to step onto, or up, the ladder:

"It's a good time to buy as long as you're in it for five years or so, not looking to make a quick buck.

"Over the longer term prices will grow because of lack of supply. There's population growth, the green lobby, immigration, divorce, demand for holiday homes, and with a fixed supply and growing demand there's no way other than up.

"We've probably reached the end of the boom, but if you're wanting to get onto the ladder it doesn't really matter when you get on. Prices won't crash, and in the long term you can't lose."
