Wow.

To start with it was a little comical, put down to over eager "new boys" over-promising before they fully understood the situation. Then it became embarrassing and now it is plain funny. I emailed my Tory MP on Thursday with a selection from that day: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2001195/MPs-demand-U-turn-women-s-pensions-say-raising-qualifying-age-deeply-unfair.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8563757/Kenneth-Clarke-about-turn-David-Cameron-in-total-mess-over-prison-policy.html http://www.pharmatimes.com/Article/11-06-09/Cameron_delivers_U-turn_on_NHS_reforms.aspx less than 36 hours later we have: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2002505/Yet-Coalition-U-turn-This-time-education-Gove-confirms-400m-cuts-policy-review.html http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=536642&in_page_id=2&position=moretopstories http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/8569722/Coalition-abandons-plans-for-weekly-bin-rounds.html David Cameron was in PR, he must know that this makes them look like a joke.

GREAT FIND CATSICK. "Pervasive House Price Increases: This house price escalation has occurred generally independent from varying demand levels. For example, the Median Multiple has more than doubled in Adelaide, the slowest growing major market in Australia. Liverpool and Glasgow, which have been among the slowest growing metropolitan areas of the United Kingdom, exhibit median multiples that have escalated at least two thirds."

Penny dropping finally? http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-13707399.html and I think they had it on for 12 months before that with another agent...

Nice Kock! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-12404508.html classic main photo.

Take a look at the internals.... play spot the radiator/power point/damp... http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-31005488.html can anyone beat it?

My God. That is a leading indicator that you can put money on.

LOL

on the flip side, what would happen if someone with a house that won't sell sees another house, like theirs, sell because they accepted a -20% offer? Or if the agents keeps telling them that they have received 5+ offers but the best is -20%. Surely it will get to them eventually. Then the domino effect will benefit others.
