If gordon brown doesn't feel the need to save the housing market then the prices should correct.
But I'm looking now because I'm worried that the government will do something stupid about bailing 100%/125% mortgage buyers out. (vis a vis NR)0 -

I should think he has thought about it to try to save his own skin, but where will he borrow the money from? He was already borrowing at records levels before the 10p fiasco and completely forgot to put any money aside during the good times. No gold reserves to fall back on either as he sold that years ago, when prices for gold were low.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

Bah! Halifax is a rubbish smallfry company, figures don't mean anything, waiting for figures from a more reliable organization. Just the same as that nationwide thing, means nothing. Anyway its only a couple of percent, doesn't mean anything, I've made a ton the last few years on my properties and shall continue to do so, no matter what you market talking downer losers do or say. And how dare you try to put off FTB'ers that may mortgage their first born to buy a house to keep the quite stable market going up?
Just thought I'd get it in first Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.0 -
hyaha i thought you was for real at first :P0
