    I'd have a spreadsheet to monitor my time in the game which would enable me to easily see the current gain/ loss. Real numbers - rent, land reg, equivalent mortgage, realistic opportunity loss on deposit etc - not just Mickey Mouse numbers.

    Crashy never did this even though MS Office was available on that new fangled Windows 95 operating system that came out towards the end of the last millennium. He didn't have the first clue, until he came here, just how much money and time in ropey digs he's invested in project crash. Don't be that guy.

    well, i'm not really that motivated to go into that much detail
    renting suited my lifestyle until fairly recently
    ideally i would have bought last year but prices went out of control
    a blatant bubble

    If you look at the 'is London crashing' thread on HPC (started in January) you may note that during June there were many posts pointing out that sellers were reducing prices. Selling prices increased in June.
