In my 40 years in propety I am used to reading "Now is the time to buy" every single week for each of 40 years. It is stories put out by those with an interest in stimulating the market.A retired senior partner, in own agency, with 40 years experience in property sales & new build.

Snapped yesterday in a little place called Winnington in Cheshire:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=winnington&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=19.406082,39.375&ie=UTF8&ll=53.26624,-2.533164&spn=0.019122,0.038452&z=15
Look at the size of the place, now bear in mind that there are over 15 Estate or letting agents on the Solway Road area.
But Coulby seem to be the guys in the know.
I wonder what they will say when Halifax publish on Thursday, and it's down over 2%, unless it's been [strike]Brown[/strike], I mean seasonally adjusted.:rotfl:0 -
Winnington was famous for its salt production, so I'd suggest more than a pinch of it before reading this agent's ramping drivel.
