    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Interesting, the tectonic plates are shifting, is an earthquake about to hit.

    Sudden slump in mortgage lending
    The number of new mortgages lent to house buyers slumped by 29% in January compared to December, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) said.

    At just 28,500 the figure was also 12% lower than in January last year.

    The CML said the fall was larger than expected at the time of year and due to an "unusual combination of factors".

    The figures suggest the property market may be heading for a new downturn in activity due to mortgage rationing and the uncertain state of the economy.

    That's the housing market for you.

    It's going to need an earthquake to shift it.
