    In large swathes of the country they are already beyond 2007 levels, but don't let the facts get in the way of another rant.

    oh the irony.

    If you'd bought a place in South Oxhey however, you'd have lost about £50,000 by now.

    Is that £50k for all properties in South Oxhey? My goodness!

    I think I'd therefore rather buy a £500k house in South Oxhey than a £50k house, that's for sure!!!! :eek:

    Good luck finding a £500k house in South Oxhey. There were a few on at about £250k, all BISF. And they stayed at £250k until prices started going up when they mostly dropped to about £190k and there were suddenly rather a lot of them.

    £190k is still rather a lot to live in a pre-fabricated shed surrounded by people who think driving a stolen '98 Fiesta into some wheelie bins and then setting fire to it, is what normal people do on the weekend.

    In my opinion.

    I admit that I have never heard of the place, but I was very surprised to hear that all properties in that location dropped by £50k!

    How about this one:

    Uk Economy Set To Outpace Most G7 Peers, Says Oecd

    Will the happy news never end?

    Wouldn't surprise me if the loonies decided their guerrilla buyers strike campaign wasn't enough and started a dirty protest on the circle line or something.

    but the OECD also said output is still down 5.4% in comparison to the quarter of 2008.

    No harm in being optimistic however its worth keeping it the econmic position in perspective.
