    Interesting that a mortgage advisor reads Housepricecrash.....

    Anyone else find that mildly amusing? (no offence of course)

    She should be reading http://www.globalhousepricecrash.com/ the quality of debate is far higher & we have a fine selection of resident bulls to keep us on our toes.
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

    Nobody can answer that question for you and anyone who professes to know the answer isn't worth listening to. Just keep abreast of the market as best you can! A boring, disappointing, lack lustre response but the best you'll get.

    Here is a graph for property prices since 1974. AS you can see that we are at almost breaking point. http://www.housepricecrash.co.uk/graphs-average-house-price.php
    That graph is a bit distorted because the x axis is not at y=0. So from D to C prices look like they more than double, but in fact rise from £53K to £70K.

    If you believe that past can be used to predict the future then you'd have expected a crash by now. Then again, what's to stop prices just holding where they are or gradually falling? I don't know. I'm not pro or anti crash, I'm prepared to just ride whatever happens.

    your boyfriend is blatantly bluffing you so that he has a reason NOT to buy with you, he's probably waiting for your younger (and no doubt) more attractive sister to come of age so he can move in with her.

    good luck though in what you do :)

    He says he wants to wait for two years before he buys somewhere because prices will be cheaper then.
    Please can you tell me that this is just total rubbish and the logic is bizarre???????? Surely even if the value of my flat did go down that much I could just hold fire before selling it for the value to go up again ?????? Please help. Thanks x :confused:

    Yes, you're right. The logic is bizarre and it's just total rubbish.

    Property prices will NEVER be 'cheap'.... although they might get significantly lower...
