    Why the rush? Patience is a virtue. Something that people may have to adjust to even if they don't want too. :beer:

    I've just bought for a smidge under £500k. Its a stunning house and on any analysis we have our utterly dream house for what we can afford.

    It is a buying opportunity at the moment.

    We have just bought (subject to contract) cash for 300k. Could have gone higher but this (with some mods/extensions meets our needs.) Personally not that sure about the market.

    It'll be a even better buying opportunity in 12 month's time. Just think how much money you could have saved if you'd been more prudent?
