Just had a nose at prices on a street local to me using nethouseprices and it appears to me that we are surely in for a house price crash.

This particular house sold for 85K in 2000 and in 2003 sold for 184K. 100K rise in 3 years. Crazy!!!

How the hell can anybody afford to enter the market these days. Its even getting difficult to trade up. Bring on the crash I say.

We're first time buyers and are finding it impossible to be able to buy a decent house in a decent area.. even with an extended mortgage amount that we're getting because my other half works at the banks (HSBCs) offices that we're getting it from - the interest rates aren't all that special either.

Would have preferred to go with the woolwich for the interest rates and 10 year fixed offer, but we just couldn't get anywhere near the amount that we'd need (just over half what we're getting with HSBC we would be eligible for), it seems like all the odds are completely stacked against us (and most other first time buyers that aren't stupidly rich).

Have just passed this: http://www.nethouseprices.com/ on to a friend who had been to an EA who made like they had secret EA access to a house price website.

Thanks

Have used it again this morning in my house buying research

As other posters have mentioned, why on earth is'nt Northern Ireland included in these house price sites? It is part of the United Kingdom so why is it always so shoddily treated? :mad:

You don't always get shoddily treated. You do get two more bank holidays than the rest of the UK.

Is it because they have got their own parliament and can do what they like?

Like one of the previous posts, my house isn't on any of these sites. It was purchased in Sept 2003 so it should be there. Does anyone know whether this means my solicitor hasn't done the job properly?
