Interesting artical from Halifax showing that house price index is slowing but a belief that the house prices will be supported by a strong economy a shortage of housing supplies.

Interesting to hear you comments

    MSE have asked everyone who wants to talk about House price crashes to do so on one thread (see the info from Divadee pasted below), so there is an opportunity to discuss your topic in the relevant thread, but please not another one.

    After seeing the hundreds of threads started on a house price crash scenario, it is clogging up the boards.

    If you could keep all discussion to this thread only and DO NOT start another threads that would be greatly appreciated.

    Any threads that are started will be automatically merged in with this one.

    Please do not start arguements. And please be nice to all moneysavers.

    Thanks very much.

    What possible interest could the mortgage lending, estate agent owning Halifax have in keeping house prices artificially high.

    some people see conspiracies everywhere don't they ?
    It's a health benefit ...

    A strong economy? By who's measure?

    An economy built on cheap credit is not strong, it may appear great, but it is not strong. To be strong it needs something tangible to hold it up, and in the UK, what do we actually make? Our manufacturing base has disappeared.

    Most of the UK is a service industry, these are the first industries to get hit when people tighten their belts. This means that UK Plc is very susceptable to change, which is great on the way up, but terrible on the way down!

    The ecomony is a house of cards, looks pretty, but is by no means strong!
