Can i ask where you would put your money?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6992586.stm The methodology may seem crude and subjective. However, Rics has traditionally had its finger on the pulse of the market when it has changed direction - as during the property slump of the early 1990s, when many other commentators refused to acknowledge that prices were falling.

Flash Gordon (how apt) Ming: Clytus i'm bored, what play thing do you have for me today? Clytus: An obscure body in the SK system your majesty, the inhabitants refer to it as the planet eearthhh. Ming: How peaceful it looks.....

I have a solution. Drop the prices you greedy muppet.

Whats wrong with neither? Wanting something to happen and it happening (for various bent reasons... Brown??) are two different things.

We need falls of 50% if we want to return to reality, 15% is a start though.

You forgot DVD's £15 each... £10 each... Oh to heck with it 4 for £20...

Estate Agent eh.

What you on about, i'm not retired.. I know what you are but what am i... My dad is bigger than your dad... etc..

Are you are an EA or has someone been telling you porkies? The EA values the property (or should that be over-values the property), they tell the seller how much they 'think' they can get and the seller goes along with it.

They are no responsible? Who does the valuations? Who helped drive up prices? Course they had a hand in the current mess.

I was talking to a friend who lives in Dublin (i posted on here but got shot down in flames as i said Dublin was in Northern Ireland which it obviously isn't!), he had his flat valued, went away on holiday for 2 weeks and when he returned the EA reckoned it was worth 20k less (Euro's). He has been over here in the UK for a week and fully expects for it to have dropped in price again. However, he did his own research rather than rely on the EA and has put it on at a reasonable price compared to others in his area.

My apologies.

Yes, his flat is in Northern Ireland. Currently living in Dublin. He is selling to come back to the UK, sorry United Kingdom. He said prices have turned for the worse, he isn't someone who would take an estate agents word either.

Ohio!!!

Here you go, definition of That for you... That pronoun and adjective, plural those; adverb; conjunction (used to indicate a person, thing, idea, state, event, time, remark, etc., as pointed out or present, mentioned before, supposed to be understood, or by way of emphasis): That is her mother. After that we saw each other.

Just saw a friend who moved to NI a couple of years ago, he is selling his flat in Dublin and his words were house prices in Northern Ireland have turned, he reckons he has missed out on thousands over the last 4 months.

Money for Nothing?

The number of people remortgaging dipped slightly, dropping to 102,000 in June from 110,000... Less mortgages, more money borrowed.. Spin

What gets me is this bit.. Borrowing up Meanwhile, the Bank of England (BoE) said on Monday that UK mortgage lending had picked up sharply in June, indicating continued housing market growth. Total mortgage lending rose by £9.6bn in June, up from £8.7bn in May. The number of mortgage approved was the same in June as in May, with 114,000 new home loans given the go ahead. The lending figures were stronger then most analysts expected. "Mortgage lending is holding up well in the face of higher interest rates and mortgage approvals are still robust," George Buckley an analyst at Deutsche Bank said. .... Mortgage lending is only up because people are borrowing more, not because more hoses are being sold, why isn't that mentioned?

Yep, include them only when prices are falling.
