    I'm not sure what this means, if anything at all...

    However I was having a ponder over the past 24 hours, & something struck me.
    As per the thread title, lending has fallen.

    Now, am I correct in thinking that there has been an increase in properties going onto the market?

    If so, is this not a potential foundation for a buyers market?
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Interesting thing in the nationwide stats was that purchases are up (including cash buyers)
    Back to over 70,000 transactions PM. So the actual transactions are going against the approvals at the moment.
