    There won't be any evidence until the LR data comes out for July at the very earliest, and that will probably show (massively) reduced supply rather than price drops. It's a speculator's market, everyone wants to time it right.

    The only things we have so far are anecdotes about Central London prices sinking, housebuilder shares slumping, and valuers downgrading prices. Plus some agents struggling because they presumably can't get sellers to reduce prices down to where they need to be.
    Before Land reg we will get some idea when Halifax and Nationwide release there figures. Central London prices bear no relationship to most of UK prices. Have you any proof about valuers downgrading prices anymore than earlier.

    same as before....getting a house at a bargain price is just the start....it's probably going to be bigger? so more energy bills, council tax will be more...and other things too?

    bit like managing to buy a Lamborghini or similar but first time it needs new brakes or something you're !!!!ed!

    Yes, buying any property will have costs, but people need to budget for this, and they will be greatly helped in this regard when the UK property bubble finally pops.

    I don't know what you are expecting but if prices fall I doubt they will fall to anything like 1998 levels.

    I have no idea what you are trying to say.

    My position is that I am primarily concerned with the welfare of the people of the UK

    you rarely, if ever mention the welfare of the people of the UK but constantly grandstand on your impractical ideal concept of free movement of all peoples, even if you don't actually believe it.

    I have no real idea what you stand for except it isn't about what's best for the people of the UK.

    What I stand for is gradual erosion of borders and more integration of the worlds people. It will inevitably happen but will admittedly take a long time. I was therefore opposed to brexit because I feel it was morally the incorrect decision and an unnecessary and backward step from that ideal. It may or may not work out better for the people of the UK as a whole, I said long ago that neither sides economic arguments convinced me.

    You need to work on your meds. Yes, there are some bad people out there, but borders and racism feed this.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    I believe we should be working towards a world
    where everyone
    -has a clean water supply
    -an adequate food suppy
    -adequate shelter
    -adequate clothing
    -an adequate income
    -adequate educational opportunities
    -freedom for FGM
    -freedom of expression
    -freedom to vote
    trial by jury of their peers
    -freedom from war
    -freedom to be lgbt
    -freedom not be killed by your father/brother if they disapprove
    -freedon from religion
    -freedom not be raped
    -freedom from adverse climate change

    .....
    -and many other freedoms

    I am shocked and appalled by your smug, self satisified, middle class, rich, profit orientated, westerm disregard for the real problems of the vast multitude of the people of the world

    but yes, I would eventually welcome the free movement of people after all the other issues have been resolved.
