    Wrong board mate. You want the 'discuss something other than house prices' boards. There are many on this site.

    Who cares about house prices ? The people who bought and stretched around 2006-07 of which there are a few on here. They are quite easy to spot even for a layman.
    Have owned outright since Sept 2009, however I'm of the firm belief that high prices are a cancer on society, they have sucked money out of the economy, handing it to banks who've squandered it.
