    That’s a bit like saying women can’t be coders.

    My guess is the credit squeeze will affect the lower end of the market first. We will see the sales volumes’ reduce and maybe stall before any price reduction over the winter on problem property.

        How do u define an average house owner, for that matter what is an average house in the UK? 3 bed room semi detached??.....its very relative is'nt it?

          Of course it is, in my area I would say bottom end is up to 140k, average 140k-250k and top end 250k+, adjust these figures depending on where you live.

            aha I should have added a top-end blood bath, bottom-end blood bath and Eau de Dior.

                A house is only worth what someone will pay for it. One reason alone. Take away that reason and Seems like a pretty poor reason to me.

                  Well, I am not sure that it's only a matter of confidence and belief in house prices. History shows us that house price crashes happen when people expect them least and are a combination of several factors (not alwas the same ones either).

                    Does anyone remember if house prices went down after the 11th of Sept 2001?

                      Prices went shooting up. Everybody is like, forget this travel business way too risky, tourists are for heros. No we'll stay at home and build an extensions instead. When the war on terror is won prices will go down in the UK. France will be uneffected they don't pick fights with anyone.
