I remember now. It was Nouriel Roubini. Here is what the Telegraph reported.Last edited by HairyArsedBloke; 11 August 2009, 10:33. Reason: I'm an old man and the memory is not so fast these daysHow 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.

I won`t take much notice of what is reported regarding prices until real liquidity returns.
I don`t think we`ll see quick upward movement in house prices unless banks go back to their naughty ways. If prices are still out of reach for many people (based on 3*salary), what will drive the market quickly higher?
I`m a BTL`er but my gut feeling is that the days of such dramatic moves upwards in house prices are gone for now.Comment
