    Have a look at next door Brentford, Whitton, or Isleworth on property bee. Anyone can show one property in the banker belt but this is not the norm for the vast majority of West London.

    oh i do Brit - i don't live too far from brentford and Isleworth so it's good to see what goes in my local area but you're detached from reality, you really are. despite having respect to your devotion to the HPC cult, it's got be getting quite embarrassing when you see everything not going the way you'd like it to. prices have gone up and it's going to take economic armageddon for it to go the way that you'd like it. i don't think that would happen either

    Prices are going to continue to crash to normal Chunky despite your put downs.
    just for you - i've taken a snapshot of the london borough of the area that you claim to be dropping in price, did you know that prices are back to 2007.

    Brentford and Isleworth are in the London Borough of Hounslow and it doesn't look like it's crashing does it, see below - as i said before you're detached from reality, it's sweet but i actually think you have a screw loose somewhere :eek:

    I looked at your 2 examples. Was most amused that acc to the first EA, the property was in Chiswick. Nice area, yeah?

    Acc to the second, it was in Acton. Not so good. So who'd pay more money to live in Acton? :confused:

    Obviously, what matters is it's eventual selling price.

    Phew , wouldn`t want to live round there these days. Can`t say that the south west is the greatest place to live in but that whole , just west of London, area I would not fancy.

    Chiswick's nice. MIL used to live there. Acton, not so nice. Good Netto and lots of choice on kebabs.

    No I said Witton, Isleworth and brentford, I did not say feltham or hounslow. Each borough bhas its good areas and bad. That also includes chelsea.

    come on Mr Brittas, it is admirable that you still persist with the HPC cult - but you're being discredited more and more frequently now... you need to step into the real world at some point

    btw you're not the best at predictions are you... 50% falls by xmas 2009 :eek:

    but anyway - as per the graph in my post above, here's the areas you quoted
    Brentford is a suburban area of the London Borough of Hounslow
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brentford
    Isleworth is a small, affluent town of Saxon origin sited within the Borough of Hounslow
