Just had a couple of hours of casual surfing RM in between work assignments...I think the boom is running out of steam. I found 16 recent reductions over 20% in one session. Most noticeably the price hikes are done.

Reductions on a studio flat in MK Bucks; 1st price for full ownership, next at 25% shared. 1.

You are welcome. For the record I am not seeing quite so many 20% plus drops but the drop is marginal. I am still seeing lots of 10%ish drops all over the country (I still refuse to post a juicy 19% drop...it has to be 20% min). Interestingly I am seeing lots of new listings. I think this boom is a bit like the "barber boom" from 3 weeks ago. Huge pent up demand with very limited supply. I had to wait a week to get my flowing locks chopped (and boy was that needed!) and then there were still queues forming at the door of the barbers. Now the same barbers are sat around in thei

Me neither, to me its just another way for someone to get what they want. Usually its an "Ism" thats used; Racism, Sexisim etc and the opponent is tarred with the "ist" or "phobe" brush. Normal logical arguing is dead at the moment. Now the trendy go to issue is mental health. An argument not going your way or you are not getting what you want?...cue your mental health.

RE bailing out. You have just eloquently described some long term global systemic issues, so the 8 Trillion pound question is...can the UK government really do anything?

Its just hot air. All this lot can do is flap their gums on social media. He is jumping on the trendy "Mental Health" bandwagon....what tangible benefit does this bring anyone?

Dupe

I suppose it means that either of those things COULD happen! Its an element of risk that it seems the mortgage providers don't have an appetite for. It doesn't stop a cash buyer taking a punt; although it looks like another drop in asking price is required before that becomes a temptation. How many posters on here would have a punt on that property at sub 90k? I would, but I think I would commission my own in depth survey first; spend a few grand that the current vendor will end up paying for in one way or another if I went ahead with the purchase. Bad luck for that hapless vendor if they

...or Norwegian Cod?

I wonder how many Hull fishermen/fisherwomen/fisherpeople voted Tory to "get BREXIT done"? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/fishing-hull-norway-brexit-talks-b1840438.html

I think the only error was the initial asking price.
