I see what they mean by incredible prices - over £100k for a tiny 3rd floor appartment. I bought a whole house with 3 bedrooms and a garden for half that just 8 years ago. I hope its just for a limited time - hopefully befor long they will be selling them at realistic prices.

Wow - 35% discount straight off & fully furnished. If that isn't a crash which also has the stench of desperation, then I don't know what is! Gives us all some idea of where most BTLs are really worth, and I still don't believe anyone will be buying as sentiment is low and fear is rife.

@Great find house_of_cards.

This article should be used as a 'marker' that provides evidence of the crash.
@Plan4crash - any luck with the wiki?

This appears to be the initial drop of around 35 - 40% off the overvalued price. I would imagine that this will be followed by a real drop in property value which could be as much or more.

That is, unless virtually interest free, no deposit 150% mortgages become available to under age drinkers.

@Plato - LoL, particularly as your last statement would not have been scoffed at 12 months ago! And totally agree that if we're seeing this initial drop, then there's bound to be a lot more - especially when more and more units are defaulted on. I wonder too, if when it comes to re-mortgaging Barclays (which advertise on the site) will say that their surveyor now thinks the property is worth 50% less, so pony-up EUR150k or f*k off ;-)

All a downward, deflationary spiral...
