    This slow house price crash will take years to play out, look how long interest rates have been at 300 year lows
    Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future

    I can't say I'm surprised, volumes remain pretty low in London, most people I know looking to upsize are looking to extend rather than buy with the current stamp duty regime and general uncertainty.

    Very few listings around where I am and demand has certainly softened as well, which at present seems to be leading to a flatlining market around here.

    I've seen just as many articles saying prices will rise now.
    Guess we are just in the Brexit unknown stages.

    One thing for sure. Lot of MP's own property.
    They don't like losing their dough so usually fix things so that doesn't happen.

    Bit like last time.

    It's not going to be a quick crash, it's going to take as long as the bubble took to get so overinflated.

    Property is way overvalued yes, but it's going to take time to get back to way undervalued

    What price will the avg property be when it's at the correct value?

    I would love to know. I'll only buy another property when they're at there true value ;)

    Proudly voted remain. A global union of countries is the only way to commit global capital to the rule of law.
  • Online estate agent eMoov.co.uk has highlighted that if the market continues stalling an increase of 0.37% a month, the average UK house would still hit £347,757 over the next decade. That's an increase of 56% by 2027. Hmm....
