    TBH he pestered the estate agent for it and the vendors were the children of the old man who owned it. They do not live in the country and just wanted rid of it.

    People complain all the time about the way the banks market repos, but they are protecting themselves against this sort of occurrence.

    Definitely nothing I would call a bargain near me.

    Cheaper than 2007 by a long chalk, yes. But that's hardly the same thing.

    I'm waiting - but it's interesting to hear other's anecdotals.

    Where's that then?
    Where I grew up, those are early 1980s prices.

    Prices are still ridiculously high in North London. There seems to be a perpetual inacceptance that we are in a credit crunch. However, I suspect that most people around here in the quaint village of Muswell Hill bought their houses in the 1970s/80s and 90s so can quite happily wait it out until some silly !!!!!! is prepared to pay £1million for a very standard 3 bed house :rolleyes:.

    There was a discussion here about a 3-bed Muswell Hill flat in an auction recently. That went for £165k.

    Just out of interest, how do you find the commute to work from Tehran?
