    I'd like to know when the article was written and published. This has some significant bearing on its relevance, surely?

    As per article:

    House Prices Will Soar by 25%

    Research carried out for the National Housing Federation predicted that the house prices in England will rise by 25% during the coming five years.
    "Our report shows that despite concerns about the current housing market downturn, house prices will increase substantially over the mid to long term" said NHF chief executive David Orr.

    Homeowners are now getting an average of just 90.9% of their asking price - well down on levels of 95.1% 12 months ago.
    East Anglia saw the biggest drop in prices during the month, with the average cost of a home falling by 1.4%, while slides of 1.3% were recorded in Greater London, the South East, South West and East Midlands.
    Despite the gloomy figures, National Housing Federation (NHF) research claimed the current market downturn would be over by 2010, leading to a return of rising prices.
    It predicts the average home in England will cost £274,700 by 2013, with prices rising by 5.2% during 2011 and by more than 9% a year in both 2012 and 2013.
    In the short-term, it expects prices to fall by a further 2.1% in 2009, before beginning to increase in 2010, edging ahead by 1.3%.
    The research, by Oxford Economics, showed despite the current crisis, demand for property is still growing, while the supply of new housing is falling.
    Article written in 2008 mods please delete, as this is trolling

    Hi Sibley

    Sadly i am starting to understand where you gained your bad reputation.
    Nobody is going to take you seriously, and more so if and when a property recovery takes place. I see your name next to a new opening post and i think "hear we go" another over the top property ramping post.

    I am not even going to bother wasting my time "debating" with you, your job it seems is to come here and troll. I also notice that you have posted another handful of posts this morning basically ramping property.
    Too me it speaks volumes on your state of mind, it looks desperate, your posts are not factual or even what you truly believe, i honestly think you are frightened of a property crash and the only limited control you have over the future outcome is what you come out with on this site, i think you are as much bearish on property as anyone else.

    Property price falls could well be very small in the coming months, i have not made my mind up for sure, but the FACT is that the ball is in the bear camp at the moment and ALL data shows that. If you can not even be honest with whats staring you and the rest of us in the face then you are only kidding yourself, but for some reason i strongly suspect that you are leveraged for a one way bet.

    Another reason why i think i have sussed you out is that you are in a similar position to me, i need a property crash to take place in order for me to get what i want(i make no bones about that), obviously you are in the opposite camp. The big difference though is that i accept that wanting something to happen is different from what is factually happening. I do however think that the odds are stacked on my side, but i won't waste time discussing it with you as you would argue white was black to win your limp argument.

    The problem for you is that however you try and twist it, the fact of the matter is that I went on your precious HPC website, did head to head with all your hero's and was proved right on every count.

    There is no answer is there?

    Are any of the so called experts sitting in a cut price house?

    That's the name of the game. You have all been preaching doom and gloom for years. What have you all got to show for the hours of sitting on the net gorging on bad news?

    Nothing.

    I'm a bit of a thicko with politics but chose the winning team. Bankers and MP's make money with houses. They ain't gonna lose their dough to make you lot happy I promise you.
