Not really my area but I will give you an opinion. at the moment the market is frozen so it is not going to move either way. I would expect there to be some softness once the market starts moving again as willingness to lend will be educed and the economic outlook will not be good. I do not see much risk for cash in UK banks but in the long term you have ask the question about the value of the cash iteslf gven the possibility of very high inflation. I think your personal expectation may prove correct but I have no real way of telling

Could you advise what you think will happen to UK residential property prices. Also, is it safe to be renting with cash in various banks (all within the £85000 government backed limit).
Id be very interested in your thoughts – my personal expectation for house prices is a peak to through fall of at least 30%, possibly more incidentally.

I am as out as I can be. I have physical assets and as few financial assets as possible at the moment.

But you cannot stay out any more than I can or anyone else can. (However, I do understand what you mean) We are all in the financial system whether we like it or not.

As you say, “the system is so saturated with debt (far more than in 2008) that if it allows interest rates to rise a wave of defaults could trigger a tsunami .. “.
