prices have gone down, and will go down further

Maybe in your area but not in everybodys.

Sorry to have to *iss on your matches but house prices not falling in our area, still solid employment, our company taking on new staff

:rotfl:
Why does it always go back to low unemployment and low interest rates will prevent a house price crash. The simple fact that most lenders still lending will only lend 3.5 times salary will have a far more significant effect on prices. Its quite simple that if people don't drop prices to what people can be loaned they won't sell.

PS In America it was the house price crash that caused unemployment and not the other way round.

If New Labour have done nothing else, they have certainly divided the nation. Whilst many cannot afford their own homes, others gloat over their 'something for nothing' gains.

And before they think about making political capital, the conservatives should remember that they have nothing to be smug about. Cameron is a double glazing salesman with the political compass of Ted Heath.

I may have offended 80% of readers with this. Never mind. It is the opinions of the remaining 20% that matter to me.

I don't feel I have had something for nothing, when we started out the mortgage was a large chunk of our income, we didn't have flash holidays or cars and I had my first new suite at the grand old age of 36.

We bought a nice house in a good area which wasn't being marketed by the estate agent, the vendor was buying a new build and they got a large reduction for a quick completion that they passed on to us. The house we moved from had been "worth" £5000 more than I eventually got for it but my divorce share out was based on the higher value, so I suppose I lost a bit there.

Well, if you really want to know.....

I can downsize and be just like BB....never work again.

I'm off into rented until things settle down.....and while I do that money won't really be an issue (for the first time in my life I might add.)

Oh, and being considerably older than my DW, if I kick the bucket now she'll be financially OK, which saves on the huge insurance policies I never had.

So, I guess that makes 3 useful things, and I can't count.
