    I am not really interested in debating the cost of your new stately home. It is your choice whether you want to buy or rent and you can obviously afford it :rotfl:

    What a very adult response.

    You get your figures wrong, but instead of apologising you resort to abuse.

    I'd love to know where in the UK £400000 buys a stately home. It might be above the average price, but can in no way be considered to be anywhere near the top end of the market.

    Perhaps you should stay off the boards until you grow up a bit.

    I made a mistake, I am so very very sorry but I never claimed to be perfect.

    So you expect to buy a house that was valued at £500K last year for £340 in 6-8 months time? Good luck, but it reminds me a line from a 70s classic "dreams are for those who sleep".

    PS: That was another joke, but I will appologise in advance for what you will no doubt call abuse, as you obviously take this way to seriously.

    Back in the Real World>
    The average house now costs 4.4 per cent less than a year ago - £173,583 - representing the biggest annual decline since December 1992. Prices have fallen for seven successive months - also the worst run since 1992.
    Some experts predict house prices could fall as much as 20 per cent by the end of next year. Most City economists had been predicting a fall of just 0.5 per cent over the month.
    Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist with Global Insight added that double-digit falls this year and next were "more likely than not".
