they are in london

London's going to hell in Graham's hand cart. All your detailed analysis shows prices falling rapidly, desperate sellers, high unemployment and rigged official stats. Why are you the only person left who wants to buy there?

It's coming to something when our resident London bear would absolutely snap off a vendors hand if the crash was so deep that October 2013 prices could be achieved.

The fact is that for most of us we need to get on and live and dont have decades to wait out the British housing market.

Have you heard of the "fertility window".
It's real and behind every man making a decision there is quite often a woman pushing the buttons.

I hope I'm not quoting the wrong guy but I think it was Andrew Oswald who wouldn't put his money where his mouth was becuse of the domestic situation.

interesting how the only house price stats currently showing positive growth are the government ones

why do people bother having kids anymore?
we're in the EU now
we don't need to create the workers of the future
we can just bring them in from poorer countries all ready grown up and ready to work. when they get old they tend to go back to where they came from so we don't even have to pay for their health care.

Another worrying sign of the descent into crashaholism - belief that UK official stats are rigged.

asking prices are falling
percentage of the asking price achieved is falling
yet the government stats for the last two months imply growth of over 50% a year
hmmm...

I thought that the maths had been done, and it showed that you could have bought significantly cheaper approximately one year ago.

You are literally pointless in that case.

It's not even that you're a troll, you aren't adding as much to the conversation as that. You're a what? I'm sure there's a word.

I'll pop you on ignore with the rest of the ....wits.
