    i notice in all areas the falls are much more for detached properties and flats and as i say in many areas prices appear to have gone up

    Look at Land registry. But a lot could depend on what type of property is preverlent or desired in an area.

    I think falls have been less from the top down. So detached falling the least followed by semis, then terraced then flats falling the most. edit(swap flats and terraces see link)

    It's just a nearlynew soundbite.

    nearlynew is a bot that posts one of 3 random phrases, at random points within random threads.

    "Debt isn't wealth"
    "HPI won't save you debt junkies"
    "Over the next few years, house prices are going down."

    Edit: Forgot "I love rewired".

    So 4 phrases.

    I for one really appreciate such a fine contribution to the forum.

    The last big recession was in the late 70's/early 80's, I'm not sure how many can 'easily remember' how bad it was back then.

    Hamish is a silver surfer though. He probably remembers disapproving of the Beatles' lyrics and girls who wore Mary Quant miniskirts as well.

    Don't get started Hamish started on food rationing after the war and the cost of houses in London and other cities to replace those destroyed in the Blitz.......

    I still love rewired as well.
