    Yer. And I explained why, which you have conviniently left out when you decided to copy and paste. Though like I say, you go straight ahead. If you need to make that point to prove something and leave out what was actually said, then I'm happy with that :D

    It was hardly a "few weeks" as you state. It was around 9 months ago! But hey, whats a few innacuracies between friends ;)

    So the figures are accurate then, wouldn't wish to be putting words in your mouth :D BTW I didn't state weeks I copied it from another post :cool:

    Well, I live in Belfast and the annual house price fall is now 37%! That's on top of falls from the peak. Yeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! :)

    I think I will wait a little longer before buying. You don't reverse 37% YOY falls overnight. :D:D

    I have three;) :D

    in all seriousness I see

    Average single person = 1 or 2 bed flat
    Average FTB couple - 2-3 bed house (or flat if south east)
    Average family house (purchased after first house = 3-4 bed semi or detached

    TBH, I would be fairly happy in a flat if they had 12 inch concrete floors walls and ceilings. I like my movies and death metal very loud, but unfortunately cardboard walls don't insulate sound very well, in fact they don't even insulate the toilet being flushed:rolleyes:, so 8k's worth of hifi and subwoofers don't sit well in a flat, on the otherside of the coin, when I want piece and quiet, I like silence, not somebodys dance music crap being played through a Curry's/Comet crappy hifi, hence I have to go with detached, even though for now there is just me.

    Noise is a big thing for me and old terraced or semi's don't cut it either.
