I love this site. It makes me laugh so much. Thank you Dithering Dad for providing such an entertaining debate.:D
I know what you mean!'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -
DD- your right. House prices will quicky start to rise and all of the bears are going to miss out. While confidence has been knocked, people are watching and waiting. Vistitor numbers to new developments are still at the same level as a year ago plus the housebuilding industry are only going to provide about 120k this year and 100k new homes the next. The populattion is still rising though. People should be mindful that these are not "normal" market conditions as there is very little finance about. As soon as house prices/ banking sector starts to stabalise, so better mortgage deals will return. Lloyds arent taking over HBOS for fun; they want the lions share of the mortgage market0

Nobody has said they won't go back up!
What a ridiculous idea to think that we think they will continue to fall.
The last time they fell, they did rise again. After 12 YEARS!
I'll take my chances, DD, and let you snap up all the new luxury apartment bargains.I'll have some cheese please, bob.0 -

I wouldn't worry too much, we are at peak oil now, only the the global recession has bought the price down, expect it to go through the roof again when the world economy picks up.0 -
