    There's no argument. He's wrong, we're all right. All his commenting site visitors are right.

    End of... non-argument.

    Lovemoney.com seems more lightweight to me than its alterego, the Motley Fool. Is the best argument their journalist can come up with?
    I'm beginning to fear that property in the UK is naturally over-priced.

    Yes, I do have an agenda. I want house prices to fall further because I don't want to have to be over-mortgaged in order to buy a house. I'd like my 6-year-old to have a garden to play in when the weather's nice like today, but I also want to be able to carry on working part-time, because I'd like to spend time with her while she's growing up rather than sending her to after-school care 5 days a week. I think 1.5 salaries per family should be sufficient to buy a reasonably sized home in one of the less expensive parts of outer London.

    I also don't think high house prices are good for society as a whole.

    But that doesn't negate the fact that the lovemoney article we're discussing in this thread is poorly reasoned, based on the writer's gut feelings rather than any hard facts.
