Do you expect London house prices to keep falling? Yes or no?

After finding out a 44 year old man was still renting the other day, I just don’t know what to believe in this crazy world anymore

who knows?

Why are you so shocked at someone aged 44 still renting.

I know a guy where I work who is about to retire - works as a security guard and never earned much or enough to buy. Lovely bloke who does lots for charity. I gather some on here might regard him as a loser - but better to be a renter than a t****er!

He is 65 - there are 9 million UK renters and I they certainly aren't all under 40!

No

This has to be the most idiotic poll ever on MSE, so I voted for both.

To be fair that was the answer for last year, with Prime London falling back while the rest of London continued to rise significantly!

And my reply may well have been aimed at some of those who posted in that thread!

Happens all the time to me where something intended as irony is taken literally. I've contacted Martin Lewis* to see if we can have a special irony smilie to save having to explain the joke (which is never good).

I suspect we just have a more rounded sense of humour than the average internet user.




* Rich2808 - I haven't really contacted Martin Lewis

Spot on. The revelation for me was similar to the 50 Year Old Virgin movie. Crazy but a few exist out there I guess.

How can they keep falling when they haven't started falling?

If the question is about PCL then I would think the market will just adjust to tax levels so high they defeat the object. It is now decisively cheaper for a foreigner to buy two million-pound properties then a single two million pound property, so I expect demand to shift towards that.
