    Similar story, another source. Everyone knows London was masking the falls, time to remove the cover.:beer:

    You could just as easily say Northern Ireland is masking the rises....

    But anyway, when it turns out this has no meaningful impact to house prices, as we're telling you it won't, will you give up this pointless nonsense or will it be on to yet another desperate straw clutching excuse like it has been with the last 100 things that haven't caused prices to tank like you predicted. :D

    Estate Agents are in a bit of a flap about it too...

    That's interesting, because the first people I turn to for help with macroeconomic questions are unqualified morons.

    No, no, no. You don't understand.
    This time it's not a message from a vested interest group as this time Graham wants their opinion to come true.

    brit,

    If you can't comprehend that the government and the BOE are firmly on the side of the home-owner and landlord rather than the ne'er-do-well renter after all these years then you must be thicker than I suspected.

    Do you think this is some backhanded ploy by those opposed to a complete economic catastrophe to instigate just that? Like they are really space lizards with an ulterior motive just to please you and your greedy mates who missed the boat in 2009?

    I think Mr Osborne knows exactly what impact it will have ...and that's none at all.

    Really?

    So the less demand for central London property won't have an effect. We know already that foreign investors pushed out the traditional domestic well off owners to the likes of Fulham and Chiswick and that pushed other people further out. This stamp duty effect will stop that 2011 ripple and translate to bigger falls all across London.

    You say it will have no effect, I say it will. Lets see this Summer.

    Pipe down Johnny.

    It would come true anyway. I just find it amsuing to see Estate Agents and other VI's complaining about the injustice of it all.
