<pedant mode on>
I think a semi-colon after "errors" would have more appropriate than a comma.
<pedant mode off>
Semicolons are used between clauses which could stand alone, but which are closely related. For example, "He ran with his shirt over his head; he had forgotten his umbrella once again". I'm not sure this is relevent in my sentence.
They're also used to indicate longer pauses in a sentence than that expressed using a comma. Again, I don't think this is relevent to my sentence.
Perhaps a fullstop and a re-working of the sentence should have occurred; I dare say someone will be along shortly to inform us.

Strictly speaking it should be...<pedant mode on>
I think a semi-colon after "errors" would have more appropriate than a comma.
<pedant mode off>
<pedant mode>
some text
</pedant mode>
For clarity it may be better to drop the mode altogether so...

edit: I do think we should try to get the basics right, especially on such an impotent forum.0 -
You will see over the next few months that 50% falls in house prices
It's been more than a few months.
Still no 50% falls.;)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

You will see over the next few months that 50% falls in house prices will increasingly spoken of as reality sets in. Inflation is rising and the days of low interest rates are over. That means traditional lending again which will bring prices back to normal.
:j
I love the OP's arrogance.
How wrong could you be? Especially in London - where house prices are now well above their 2007 peak in many areas0 -
Wow.
A few years on and not only have there been no 50% falls, but interest rates are at 0.5% instead of rising as the OP predicted.
