I stopped to look at house prices in an estate agent window the other day and still found it hard to believe the asking prices. Who the flip can afford 400K, let alone for an average looking house. The only saving grace is that GBP may fall faster than house prices, who knows. -

Even if house prices don't change, the price of houses in the UK will go down as the £ falls.Fiscal nomad it's legal.Comment

Not to say I would though; I don't fancy trying to sleep at night knowing I owe the bank half a million euros.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

House price falls are lagging as dumb ass vendors are, once again, not being realistic in their pricing.
You'll still get pockets of growth such as Central London but I'd imagine the general trend is downwards for the next couple of years.Comment

We put a bid in for a house in 2007 for 491,000, the winning bidder took it for 491,200.
The bidder failed to stump up the money which under Sctos law is a major no no, as they were taking legal action they offered the place to us which we declined. The place went for 417,000 8 months later so the winning bidder has to pay the 70 odd grand. We worked it out that the bidder knew the property owner and a deal had been struck that they would pay 200 quid over the top offer which was ours. Bullet dodged there.Comment
