We’d like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum.

This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are – or become – political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.

Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.
The MSE Forum Team would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. However, we know this time of year can be difficult for some. If you're struggling during the festive period, here's a list of organisations that might be able to help

    I rather like the number 4.

    I was about to say it's because it's the magic number. But that's 3 isn't it?

    Not much positivity on this year's poll. Maybe Hamish, Sibley etc. will be along to give us some positives soon.

    Put me down for -7% please, cleaver. :beer:

    If RICS say it could conceivably be -5%, then my feeling is that it'll be worse than that. Of course London & Home Counties will balance things out a bit......Oh, and of course, things will be fine down here, as they always are. :p

    Did I hear that it's actually been snowing in some places? :)
