    I am a contractor with no chance in hell of getting a mortgage below 7% interest rate which makes it pointless even thinking of getting a house.

    Let the prices come down, people go bankrupt as this means I will have to get a smaller deposit to actually buy. At the moment I need £50,000 to buy a £250,000 house, that is a ridiculous amount of money and will take years for me to save up.

    Yeah, the smallest most densely packed and worst built houses in Europe (or is it the world?) for the highest price. Oh bargain, I thought you said rip-off.

    So technically speaking, prices are still going up, it is just the rate of increase that is slowing. Nothing to worry about.

    In real terms Prawn's house is worth fook all until he is evicted, but even after that I don't expect many takers:

    Things are going to start warming up soon presumably, in terms of sackings, unemployment, VAT rise, runaway inflation, riots, etc. At last. We should have gone through this in mid 2000.
