It's a long shot by the BBC - but it's all they've got this month!
BBC "News": Ten signals of areas 'on the up'
Running low on feelgood stories for the housing market? As an up and coming newsdesk sub-editor, have you been worried that your BTL investment may not have been so prudent? Things gone a bit quiet on the good news gravy train? Well simply post a no-facts, no figures, wishy-washy opinion-editorial article with catchphrases like "A sign of a property price boom?". PS. Remember to pay your TV license fee!

"After interviewing 200 estate agents, the bank drew up a list of 10 signs of an area's increasing prosperity."
Are there no ends to these peoples talents?

Do you think the BBC will commission another article to balance this one, entitled: 10 things that indicate that your area is disappearing down the pan?
1. Threshers Wine Shop renames itself The Liquor Store
2. ?
Further suggestions greatly received.

2) nearly all houses on your street are unoccupied but with 'to let' signs outside. Tumbleweed rolls down the pavement, sometimes rolling past the odd fidgety nervous looking BTL investor wondering which 'to let' sign is his.
Paul - thanks for putting the word News in quotes. I think the BBC should be legally required to adopt the practise.
