Drawing from personal history, the speaker contrasts the long-term value trajectory of a childhood home purchased at £5,000, which swelled to £500,000 at market peaks, postulating that based on historical growth rates, it could be valued at an unrealistic £56 million in a hypothetical future. The reality is that future growth may no longer follow suit.

In a market manipulated by regulatory decisions rather than fundamental demand, property ownership becomes increasingly precarious.
