    We haven't been in this situation to know what will happen, people just assume prices will recover eventually.

    Prices are recovering.

    Really:confused:

    Is every house in the UK therefore at 2004 levels an should be priced accordingly to what the Halifax tell us?

    my local area is somewhere around 7% last time i checked on the LR numbers - property has increased much more than this since 2004.

    If you want to stand a good chance of finding a buyer... YES !!!!!!!!!

    2002/03 levels to whip up some interest for a fast sale, instead of chasing the market down, else another 12 months and your looking at 2000/01/02 levels.

    Now now Dopester, you should know better.

    What a lot of rubbish and you know fine well it is, what was the average price of a home back in 2000/01? You'll have to remind me.

    You really need to take a back foot from all this, i fear it is taking over your life and you are getting a bit OCD about it.

    If i put my home on the market for 2004 figures, i think the estate agent himself would buy it before putting it in his window.

    You would have to be a complete loony to base your sale price solely around that of what the Halifax state:rotfl:

    Very sad when a house is reprosed, like all the poetry has gone out of living in it.

    New poetry can be written by families who move in, at a price which better reflects sensible levels of affordability.

    Especially in the repossession was a former BTL.

    unfortunately it is many more people with first mortgages that are defaulting on their payments not the BTL brigade.

    Some might regard it as poetic justice ;)
