    yeah thats my fear too. my salary could rise at 3-5% a year but if house prices only rise 2-3% im not sure thats a tread id rather do in 5 years. tbh im not hoping / expecting a 50% crash. more like 5-10% probably. lots of houses i see are already on the market for ~9 months + and reduced 10-15%. Just seems like they could do with another 5-10%. could always put in the cheeky offer and see what happens i guess.

    and yes! i already recognise Crashy Times posts without having to check username!

    I believe inflation is factored is factored in to the Nationwide (and Halifax) index.
