HPC in today's Express
Express: UK faces £459bn housing crash
Nothing in this article is new, but interesting how the doubts about house market stability are reported in the popular press (£459bn...!?). As soon as publishers realize that full-page HPC news sell more papers than stale, boring stories on property millionaires...
In the article: "Analysts are concerned that the UK could be at the mercy of international financial forces beyond its control"... that sounds likely, with foreign investors having so much influence on the London house market and on the pound.

An amazing article from the paper that ran a front page headline "House Prices to Rise 40%" not very long ago.
Yet the perspective is still from the seller:
"The glut of unsold homes has risen to 8.1 per cent, the worst figure since 1990."
Lets help them to rephrase:
The availability of homes ready to buy has risen to 8.1 per cent, the best figure since 1990.
