    something like that but....

    the trend is that more surveyors expect them to fall. no idea by how much though.

    If the next Nationwide report is down again the denizens of hpc.co.uk are going to start spanking each others monkeys in delight.

    Of course the really extraordinarily large falls wont happen until I have exchanged, which will also coincide with spiralling interest rates.

    Will probably still beat renting though. Sounds silly but for years now I have wanted one of those pull up bar things you place in a doorway. And never been able to have one.

    Thats what I am going to buy mysels as a house warming present.

    A pull up exercise bar.

    So, basically, you're buying yourself somewhere to live rather then spending your time on internet forums arguing with strangers about whether prices will go up or down 1%?

    Weirdo. ;)

    Correct. Then considerably more expected a fall in prices than a rise.

    RICS state that the difference between those expecting a rise and a fall is the significant figure in their survey as it relates to future house prices.
