Yes, it was. I didn't even notice they had printed it. I never heard back from them so I assumed they had not printed it. Good stuff. I have to try and secure a copy of the Metro.

" In your article 'Money for old soap' (Metro, Tue), you report
on a house for sale in Albert Square , stating :
'With house prices rising by 56 percent a year , an investors dream.'
This figure is pure fantasy. According to Land Registry data , house prices in Tower Hamlets rose by 9.8 per cent in 2004 but by only 0.9 per cent in the last quarter of 2004.
And the next move will be down.
Hardly an investors dream. "

I think the original article in Tuesday's Metro was actually trying to be ironic, but if it sparks a debate about house prices then it's all good!

They did not edit anything out. That's the letter. I kept it short to improve the chances of it being printed. I did sign it "Press Spokesman housepricecrash.co.uk", but they seem to have omitted that part.

read the short letter last night, when i got in... Congrats for Drip feeding the public ;p
I have bought a newish (5 years) house in November 2006. I talked the vendor down 30% off peak 2004 price am am paying less than the 2002 price. I feel prices will continue to drop down to the 2001 price but saving for 5 years hopefully means i wont be stung. The price i am paying isn't much above the price the vendor paid for the place when it was new in 2000. However some idiot is trying to flog an identical house on my road for 55k above the price i paid, one month later!?!?! The housing market is frothy, no-one ever knows what the value of a house is, the value is what someone is willing to pay, make sure you pay alot less than the asking price.
