    It is only the annual rate of price growth which seems to have slowed even now and there is a lot of money now coming into what was one of the poorest boroughs in the UK.

    People and money are coming into the area and that can only be good news in a city where the cost of an apartment can double in 1 mile because it is closer to the Square Mile.

    Great spoof email! Post of the day!

    Both. The Olympics will be such an almighty f**k up that the entire country will default. Inflation will hit the stratosphere. The currency will become worthless. So house prices will increase massively if you're paying in pounds, and fall to next to nothing if you're paying in Euros.

    They will remain overpriced for the location.
