nope - but it attracts an excellent headline0 -
Not one house, of course, but it's an interesting indication....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

Chucky, you seem to be in a slightly combative mood this morning?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0

According to http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/in_depth/uk_house_prices/regions/html/regions.stm
prices in our local authority rose by 13.4% in the last quarter (it states nearly 500 sales), will probably report huge falls next quarter!0 -

I have seen two properties in my area drop their asking price by £50k. (One-off price drop, not lots of small drops adding up to £50k.) But there are quite a few houses which have been on the market for ages and only dropped by £10-15k. All these are 3 bed houses in the region of £250-£330k.0
