Looking in the various forums and stuff they seem to be saying that land prices are dropping faster than plots with houses on them.
I think I'll start scattergunning sellers with ridiculously low offers next month - I mean 30 or 40% or even 50 % less than asking.
Maybe one will bite and I'll get my building plot now rather than having to wait a few years....maybe I won't....

I have made quite a bit by moving to renting in summer 2007.
The gf convinced me to put a 495k bid in on a house in Dec 2007, we missed out by 200 quid, the sale fell through and the house eventually sold in Dec 2008 for 416k. That really was dodging a bullet.

Can't remember the show on TV last night, think it was the news.
"Houses were losing £100.00 per day"
Soon I'll be able to buy something for cash

That poll was in Dec 2007. It's now March 2009 and we're about 17%.
So my guess of 20% was an underestimate.
30% in the 2 years from 2007 is about right.
