Same old formula; state the bleeding obvious under the heading of "a recent report" or "a recent survey shows . . ." throw a few percentages in for authenticity, then wheel out an academic to back it all up.
Tabloid journalism at it's most inane.

The BBC report is typical nuLieBore spin.
As the septics say, "Making chicken salad out of chicken s....."How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

The usual blocker is being unable to come up with a 5% deposit plus all the other expenses needed (which for a £200K property in London is tricky for a couple of youngsters.) Even if property prices drop 10 to 20%, that doesn't affect the stamp duty and deposit required by much AND most lenders seem to want >10% deposit these days?
Hopefully someone much brighter than me will show me the error in my thinking.Comment
