I saw this last week in Winchester Road, Southampton - Oh how the times have changed.



Please show us what's going on in your area

Indeed. I'll have to look out for something similar although I've always maintained that the Sheffield area is legging other parts of the country.

Can't find those houses on the Morris Dibben website.

In fairness it looks like a recently completed new build project to me.

Although from following threads on the forum about Southampton (with it's higher than average rate of repossession actions) the outlook doesn't look that good.

I may have been away from the uk for a bit, but do all new houses have the security fencing? are things that bad? lol

Well, unless there is security on the site, the likelyhood is if there wasn't, any white goods, sinks, fireplaces and justabout anything else vaguely removeable will be stripped in the dead of night.....

Hope this comes out ok .
Not a pic , but frfom "rightmove" . these flats are near me . They have been finished sionce before Christmas . They are still some avaliable . The ad's outside scream "40% SOLD"

Err ,doesn't that mean 60% "unsold" ????

Its appalling that to buy a 50% share of that flat, you have to be earning a minimum of £18k!

If I was the EAs boss I would sack whoever erected all those signs. They should have released these homes in "phases" doh

I think part of the blame may be with the developer in situations such as this.. In a rising market, the developer/EA maybe didnt want to contract buyers as they reckoned they would be able to sell the units for a higher price a month or two further into the building works. As the market then turned sharply they have been wrong-footed as buyers have dissappeared.. This has happened in Northern Ireland.

Can anyone think of any good house price crash photo subjects other than lots of boards?

Empty EA offices?

Repossessed people?


etc

our local branch of "your move" went tits up a couple of weeks ago - anyway the sign men came along to remove the sign and found this gem underneath - genuine 1980s EA signange - Old School Baby - Like history repeating itself

ps does anybody know how to put the picture in the text window???

This was posted through my office managers home - she thinks it was posted through most of Chandlers Ford area.

Anouncing that they have sold a house !!




Just the one house then - Maybe there will be steak on the table tonight

I can only laugh...! Nice one Polyposh.

Hi IanBeale

I'll do it for you



Polyposh

Hey - that is also funny because this is a branch of Austin & Wyatt that also closed down in Chanders Ford

Underneath the sign is an old Fox & Son shadow



Are they trying to tell us something about the state of the housing market ?

Maybe I need to keep in touch with what is going on out there

Polyposh

There's a recently closed Estate Agent in my area .... now where's my camera

In Norwich...

A former branch of Spicer McColl


A block of city centre flats with 4 'for sale/to let' signs outside. Sorry if its hard to see.

Oops! Here it is... Sorry, the signs are a bit hard to see.

In spite of the much talked about 'credit crunch' - I hate that phrase, there are dozens of new developments that are going ahead in my local area. In order to show my disaproval of this I intend to plaster the house price crash logo all over these sites. I expect I will be arrested at some stage. I will endeavour to post some photos of my exploits on here. In the meantime I would greatly appreciate some ideas for funny remarks I could print under the logo.

Many thanks

Has anyone got pics from the flats for sale in York....where poplar court is...just along from the shell garage on Hull road...there MUST be 30+ boards within ten yards of each other? Will be classic IMHO

Storm clouds gather over new build flats - really, look:

I go past these regularly. I saw them go up and week by week I've seen the increasingly desperate marketing banners draped across the front: "Now accepting reservations". "Last few remaining". "Ask about our special incentives". "Ideal buy-to-let opportunity".

The latest says "only 4 remaining". I'm not sure if that includes flat 3. It has an auction notice posted outside!

The first photo in this thread needs updating. It looks almost the same as before, but now all the signs say "To Let". There are still for sale signs around the side of the property. Could someone local go and take a look please, I don't pass down that way very often.

Some brave investor wants to rent out these new properties. The rest of the site to the left of the picture looks pretty much unfinished.

Too late to invest? Or will it eventually pay off with many sellers movinginto rented property?

Your wish has been granted - I have updated the first picture for you showing the history of this development - Polyposh

EA's are so despondent with the current housing market.

There is no point in filling in the property description, as the place is not going to sell anyway.

Oh my life... I laughed so much here at work that everyone is looking at me strangely!
Surely, that cant be for real!

Edit to add: sorry about the poor quality. It was raining and I was on a bus! It is an Estate Agents with a Rent or Buy sign above it.

Shame that..

I wrote the script for this video the intention that it should have just enough Credit Crunch to justify a link on this website! Enjoy!

Let me guess, they are all advertising that bin as a home.

Bijou maisonette.

Some local authorities have been more effective than others at dealing with board littering. Where the LA takes decisive and even handed action to curb or even ban boards most agents welcome their actions.

The problem is that enforcement is piecemeal. This therefore creates an uneven playing field as boards are an effective way of generating business.

There are many more aestetically less intrusive media available. Time for a UK wide ban on boards.

a flyer from a local estate agent put through the door a few weeks ago.

this is a classic

where is the bit about there mortgage debt going down by 10% as well... oh sorry its stayed the same and your still living in the same gaff...dont worry its all relative

of course houses are still selling

see attached (if anybody knows how to put an image in this box then please sort it for me and let me know how)

Not sure what this means, a property down my street was being renovated slowly over a period of 2 years then stopped mid way (presumably ran out of money). Now its on sale unfinnished, and even stanger its also to let? To let? Theres no water supply connected yet and there a big gaping hole at the front with pipes sticking out the ground.

I think that's one of the pictures that's been doctored using computer imagery???????? Looks pretty dire to me.

How about "I'm a saddo with too much time on my hands".

I think you're more likely to be ignored than arrested, since your opinion is of little interest to the majority.

This billboard sign is on my way to work, here in Brisbane Australia.
It is a sign of the attitude that caused this whole mess.
Everyone can be rich and everyone deserves to live like a King.
