Very difficult to call, especially with active intervention to boost the market (20% discount to FTB as announced a few days ago). How many more active interventions will there be by UK GOV whilst the bubble stays inflated?
Inflation is falling but a Japan senario looks less likely with oil prices falling giving europe a boost. But I don't see things leading to recession, rather traction gained ahead of the pick up, and when they pick up - they may go for it; and this might be the interest rate bubble prick we need.
A lack of Russian money may impact the top of the market in London, but I don't see this bringing the house down. That's just froth.
Personally I'm not intending on taking a large mortgage any time soon. I have enough risk/stress without that in my life! Ok so I live in a modest house - at least I sleep well at night.
I suppose, when the actual cuts come, which UK GOV has side stepped for 5 years; that might start to bite. Who knows!
