UPDATE 1-UK house prices book record monthly fall in Sept | Reuters

British house prices plunged a record 3.6 percent on the month in September, mortgage lender Halifax said on Thursday, in a further sign the housing market is rapidly losing steam after a pick-up last year.

We cannot afford to let house prices fall from 7x people's income, it's a disgrace!

Set interest rates to zero and print a few trillion pounds!

At this rate the Proletariat will be free from crushing debts and might be able to afford a home to live in!

I'm actually quite happy for them. Many of these comments are from people who are earning a normal salary and are priced out of the housing market due to housing boom. Prices came down a notch after the credit crunch, but they still have a long way to go until we get back to the more affordable 3-3.5x salary territory.
I can imagine what it feels like having bought my first house in 2007 when prices had almost peaked. We were priced out of areas where people had jobs like 'DHL van driver', 'BT phone line engineer' (you could tell by the vehicles on their driveways), and our household income must have been 3x what they were getting
