What goes up must come down
First Rung: Why the next house price crash will be worse
After eleven years of rising prices, it's no surprise that, to millions of homeowners, the last housing crash seems a lifetime away. However, its effects lasted for more than five years until 1995, when house prices set off on what is almost certainly their longest post-war winning streak.

He's a VI. Therefore this article is about as useful as the cr@p that gets printed in the Daily Express.

Nice to see how he bangs on vehemently about 'Vested Interests' out to do the poor innocents harm, and yet, as he is someone who has sold to rent a while back, he is rather the 'Vested Interest' himself. I like how he completely overlooks that, and phrases it in quite an offhand manner later in the piece.
This isn't the first time I've read his thoughts on a coming crash. He's been banging on about one for a year or more now that I have read. Each time he sounds a little bit more desperate, and trying to convince himself we are heading for some '1929' crash scenario, instead of the price plateau situation that’s actually happening.
I find it hard to take him seriously now, and I say that as someone Bearish on property.

I agree with most in this article I cannot believe how people keep borrowing more and more to fund their lifestyles sometime interest rates with rise because of global pressures then when its gets very nasty and there is a crash it will be everyone elses fault
