I was very surprised as in general all the local agents are very pro price rises and generally are more keen to tell clients they better hurry or miss the boat I have never viewed anything with that agent had my details via Rightmove I think. I sold in the summer and completed last Friday and when I dropped the keys off all staff at their desks which is not the norm for this particular agent on a Friday!

I just received the following email from an agent I registered with this summer in East Sussex Good afternoon, I am contacting you to see if you are still actively looking for property in the Brighton and Hove area. As you may have read in the press or seen on the news, the property market has rather gone off the boil lately, and I suspect it is unlikely to change back before next year. What with fewer new properties coming on to the market at the moment; plus the uncertainty in the financial markets of Europe; and the general election due in May there is a degree of hesitation in the market at present. This is therefore an appropriate time for us to be contacting all those people who have registered their details and checking whether or not they have found somewhere, or are still looking, or have decided to wait and see what next year brings. I would therefore be obliged if you could let me know your situation so that I can update my records. If I haven’t heard from you within 10 days I will assume you are no longer looking and therefore remove you from the register. Kind regards Very surprised indeed!

There is no social housing here. I could buy comparable but just can't find it and the prices have become ridiculous! I think I will look at cheaper rentals as this was the only one that we could get with suitable layout and allowing a flippin cat! I would love to play the long game but fear living in substandard dumps for years I am in the SE

Is there ever one? I have just sold a maisonette because I have been diagnosed with a health issue which won't ever be cured as such and it had a lot of stairs which will be a problem in the future. We are renting atm as nothing was available in our budget without the stairs Rental is awful and so expensive but is in an ok area in terms of me getting about We could buy now a cheapish small flat and my husband wants to but I am seeing prices dropping here and am thinking of waiting perhaps for a bungalow. I know its a bit how long is a piece of string but do any of you think 3 years from now things will have changed?

Thats not the Brighton I know! Lived here years

Prices starting to fall here now Significant % and numbers esp flats AT least a quarter of daily listings have the big green reduced sticker! Things really need to change and I hope they do sooner rather than later.
