Note that the 'Group Think' on an HPC has taken hold in the US : "He added that home buyers are "adopting a 'wait-and-see' attitude because of uncertainty about where the housing market is headed".
This makes it more likely
Any signs of similar 'Group Think' in UK (follow the herd...) ??

It's this 'wait and see' attitude that will simply turn off the tap and make it a self-fulfilling prophecy, creating a snow-balling collapse of the market.
