As it says ..... looking into your own crystal ball, will house prices still be such a hot topic and where will they be in 2019?

    Likely to be just getting back to the 2007 peak

    House prices won't be an issue as all will be seized by the State and allocated according to a strict priority. This priority being -

    1) 'seekers'
    2) Muslims
    3) Member of any ethnic group (non-white)
    4) Single white women with illegitimate children
    5) Single white women
    6) White couples

    Single white men will be expected to live in a local hedge.

    I think by then, if we are lucky we will be back to 2005 prices, as I have said many times, in real inflation adjusted terms, 2007 ain't ever coming back.

    by 2019 house prices will be regulated by a moronic quango set up by the next labour government. quangos will govern every aspect of our lives. house prices will only change once a year in line with the quango's recommendations.
