    It's good that the rest of the western world joined in lowering rates also, all just to make buying look cheaper than renting in the UK.. :)

    I blame Channel 4 for selling the global TV rights to the Sarah Beeney show.

    Even more popular than Top Gear apparently. Making money from property really took hold.

    The only people that think rising prices are a good thing are debt-junkies.

    Oh dear... one of the longest bear traps in history, the Land Registry figures seem to indicate.

    Still, it's all different this time, innit???
