UK house prices 'start to cool'

BBC News: UK house prices 'start to cool'

Hard to tell this time of year if this a blip, and we are still in positive HPI territory. Ms Earley is finding it increasingly difficult to keep up her positive spin however. I can hear it now "Prices are reducing but only by 10% month on month which is insignificant when compared to the massive gains over recent years, It still remains a good time to buy.....blah blah blah"

This story appeared in the BBC News RSS feed then was promptly removed and buried in "other stories".

Remember folks, never catch a falling knife as the saying goes.

from your link
"However, she said that would mean monthly mortgage payments on a typical £100,000 tracker would have jumped by more than £90 a month in less than a year."

Average house price now being closer to £200k means a FTB would need to find another £180 per month on top of an already inflted payment.
