Some of these boards on my street have been up for many months. Nothing is shifting. I get the impression that BTL investors and credit have dried up, and the traditional market bottom feeders i.e. first-time-buyers, were priced out many moons ago.
In other words, there's nobody left to buy.

i think all the nightmare speculation about crashes etc is causing first time buyers to hold back, the main foundation of a chain, afterall someone with nothing to sell usually has to start the chain building as none of my offers have been accepted as I havent sold yet.

Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

I thought higher house prices were caused only by BTL

Nice street Turnbull. I can't think why nothing is selling.
