"A correction"Some people say a correction in house prices is a bad thing, but actually it's a good thing for the uk.

A euphemism used by those who cannot or who are not willing to put the hours and work into buying their own home and want to destroy lives so they can pick over the bones and corpses later.
Have people not learnt anything, for over two decades now a cult website has tried to do just that and failed. Sometimes there is a small part of me that thinks just maybe the housing market is maybe just a little too hard for some to get on, then I read posts like this and think things are just fine as they are.0 -

Oh please!
Prices are now ten times what they were twenty years ago in large parts of the country whereas wages have barely risen by comparison. People didn't work for their house price rises - financial, planning and housing policies and general government inactivity to deliver the housing supply our growing population needs caused that. Its a generational issue - homes a person on an average wage could have afforded in the mid 1990s are now only affordable to those on bankers salaries.
No one who bought their home for £100k in the early 1990s - and its now worth a milllion or more earned that rise they just sat on their settees.
So lets get real.
Maybe you are some Ebenezeer Scrooge counting up your housing wealth - but some of us have younger family members who are really struggling to pay rent let alone afford a home. It is far harder now due to house price inflation than it was for you or me!
PS oh I forgot if those young people didn't spend £30 a month on that iphone they could afford to buy a house for £400k on a £30k average salary! etc0 -

Yep, I think that is the very same mantra housepricecrash.com have been using for 20 years now, well at least the less than 5% who are still left there. I am sure one day you will be proved right, but with an over populated UK with the 5th largest economy like ours I still think you will have a long wait.0 -

Life is tough, always has been. Some of us roll our sleeves up and take it on, others blame everyone else for those inevitable hardships we all have to take on. I was born with a handicap, never held me back, my Mum had MS for 2/3rds of her life, never stopped her.0 -

Depends what kind of brexit we get.
If we get bino/brino then everything will be back to normal pronto and there won’t be a crash due to brexit.0 -
Maybe instead of blaming Brexiteers for the presumed property crash you're so scared of you should roll your sleeves up and take it on.Life is tough, always has been. Some of us roll our sleeves up and take it on, others blame everyone else for those inevitable hardships we all have to take on.0
