So is squatting my friend - it's the flat I rent

Fair point!

[OwlHoot]

check the date!

DOH!

I always try to, but the idiots didn't include a date below the article title line (as most sites do), and the page shows today's date at the top!

(But yes, a brief skim did sound slightly surreal, as if it was talking about the past in the present)

They were wrong anyway, very very wrong.

House prices 'to fall 30%' | Daily Mail Online

But the analysts at Capital Economics suggest that the most serious and widespread effects will not begin to be felt until late next year. They are forecasting increases of 12 per cent in 2003 before falls of 5 per cent in 2004, 10 per cent in 2005 and 7 per cent in 2006.

That would see the average price rising from around £117,000 now to £128,000 by the end of next year, then falling to £102,000 by Christmas 2006.

You'd better hope it doesn't go up much before contracts are exchanged, or you'll experience another feature of the English property market - gazumping!

Got my offer on flat I rent accepted, so now it seems obvious to me that the price will continue to go up indefinitely.

If that happens I'll buy a few more and my average price would drop

[MarillionFan]

I'm calling the top of the market, 95% price falls on the way.

WHS


Renting will soon be the new buying.

If you're buying, we're all selling.

yep you know the market is stuffed when you get advice from the Shoeshine SEO boy

Don't care if price drops, it's a place to live in rather than engage in dirty spekulation
