could make money by buying an apart ment and simply waiting for the price to go up.

state that it is tempting to imagine that one only has to buy an apartment to guar antee a loss but I wonder if anything is ever quite that simple. Here’s an example of what I mean. Suppose that some lunatic were to build
a block of luxury apartments in the Cathe dral Close of a northern city. Of course, city centre living is not everybody’s cup of tea, but suppose that the block had its own underground car park and security and its own exclusive swimming poo!, sauna, Jacuzzi and gymnasium; an oasis of peace, prestige and prosperity, a stone’s throw from the Cathedral, railway station, the

state of the market, one could buy a per fectly lovely little apartment there for less than £90,000. Could one possibly lose money on such a purchase? Or, to put it another way, how could one avoid a profit, on a two or three year view? The other day, Margo Grimshaw, one of
the most colourful characters that Black- bum has ever produced, took me round her development at Cathedral Court, Black- bum. Margo loves Blackburn and wants the very best for it. To her mind, there is no reason at all that Blackburn should not have the sort of luxury that cities like Lon don enjoy. If a young lawyer in London can roll out
