    This is where you show your young age, unfortunately.

    Prices can go down, as well as up.

        Ask yourself what's more likely. Prices spiralling upwards and beyond, staying as they are, or crashing? Bear in mind that the Boom and Bust cycle continues, one of the great mysteries of capitalistic economies.
        Same happened in Manchester during the crash - more than Beetham Tower were scheduled. Just had a look on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._in_Manchester

        More than I'd thought - the Metrolink needs serious improvement first and the dependency on city centre routes must be circumvented too. For those Londoners not aware of what it's like, it would be like all tube lines having to go through Oxford Circus or Tottenham Court Road; if part of that central section goes down, the whole service is thrown into chaos.

                You two seem to have very similar views on a lot of things, maybe the start of of true, deep, bromance.

                      edit: Bolton, a short way down the road from Manchester, is about the only place where property prices have reduced slightly over the last two or three years. So that looks ripe for a good property investment.
                      I was in Bolton today it's a bit of a dump now but when they have sorted the m60/m62 in that area will be a good commuter town.

                      So yes good investment long term.
