The House Party's Over
E17 May 11, 1992
Are the golden days over for
British home owners? Reporter John Plender looks at whether in future owning a house will still be a sure way of doubling your money or whether, now that Britain is in Europe, the bubble has burst forever.
Plender visits Chippenham in Wiltshire - a housing boom town until 1989 - and its twin towns in Germany and France and discovers what a Continental-style housing market, restrained by the ERM, is like.
