    Not yet.

    Something like 250000 properties "at risk" or "not being called in" at the moment because a lot of the banks couldn't take the hit on their balance sheets and liquidity /provision reports if they repossessed everything they wanted to.

    You know the drill.

    The bigger question is, how you going to afford to live after paying New Labour to enable the Tesco workers to afford to live?

    What would you rather have, a pile of worthless cash or a house?

    And what is forcing people to sell at a lower price?

    Interest rates? Nope, low.

    Repossession? Nope, banks are not repossessing.

    Since it was me who posted thread about this article 2 days ago your comment about being slower than me is illogical, does not compute...
