If this question is genuine I find it rather sad-making that someone should ask it. I find it hard to believe that anybody thinks there is anyone out there who can provide a sensible answer other than “nobody knows.”
The honest answer is that nobody knows now and nobody will know for 50 months or more. The questioner should be entirely sceptical of anybody who claims to have even the vaguest idea.
In 5 years time, the property market will have dealt you a hand. Those are the cards you’ll have to play with. But you simply won’t know till the cards are in your hand. That’s the world we live in now – uncertainty is the only certainty.
