Punishment for failing bankers, who will refurbish traditional working class neighbourhoods like Islington was.
There would be Data Processing, Call Centre jobs, as well as boosting ancillary services like Supermarkets, leisure and retail services generally.
Escaping bankers will be fitted with electric pain probes, and forced to clean toilets.
Whilst Halifax and more importantly the far more Accurate Land registry showed national average falls. 2012 will be the big year of falls, even London and south east.

Your self-interest won't drive up falling house prices, sorry. FWIW, I am looking to buy and am renting currently. I am making a slight loss per month assuming house prices fall by 3% per year. If they fall by 2.9% or less, then yes, I am "out of pocket" if I continue to rent over the next 12 months - however what you and a lot of sellers overlook is the "cost" of negative equity to me is a lot higher, I prefer the mobility permitted when renting for one. It's not always a purely financial decision. Oh, that and I don't like rewarding greedy individuals who still think it's 2007. Am I praying for a crash? Not really... I am just looking to deal with a realistic seller, and until I meet one I will continue "pouring my money down the drain" as it were.
So much for all those who claim it's "London skewing the figures".

According to my dog, 11 out of the 13 regions saw a gain. That has about equal weighting to what Nationwide say. I'm not a militant bear or anything, but knowingly deluding yourself into believing false statistics just sets you up for disappointment.

Of course posting it again in a new subforum will cause several thousand people to deduce that prices are rising again, and go out and buy.
