If it was then prices would be coming down in all boroughs like snowball

No, that would be a "crash", you said signs of a crash:

 

City of London / Jul 2016 / -10.2% (-12.2%)

Tower Hamlets / Mar 2016 / -4.7% (-4.0%)

Haringey / Feb 2017 / -3.7% (-11.1%)

Greenwich / Feb 2017 / -3.0% (-12.0%)

Hackney / Mar 2016 / -3.0% (-2.6%)

Wandsworth / Oct 2016 / -2.8% (-5.6%)

 

What do you want, a telegram from the f**king queen ?

In light of those figures, this is a new low. Surely the Guardian can tell the difference between the LSE and eMoov in terms of source credibility:

Is it a bad idea to buy a property in London if it's not home for life?

I would prefer buying to renting but fear a 2007-like crash may wipe out value and make it tough to resell

I’m 26, living in London, and on civil service salary of £34,500, and after I’ve completed my graduate scheme, I should be on £50,000-plus in a couple of years. I’m fortunate to have £110,000 in cash – from savings and inheritance – to put towards the purchase of a property.

I am young and single and like living in London, it suits my lifestyle now, but not if I decided to start a family and settle down. I was considering buying a flat in London, with the idea that it would be my first home, and I would sell it off by the time I was 32.

...

Recent claims – made by Paul Cheshire, professor of economic geography at the London School of Economics – of an impending crash and a 40% fall in property values are “quite frankly outrageously unrealistic” according to Russell Quirk, founder and chief executive of online estate agent, eMoov.co.uk.

There is no shortage of bad advice out there.

Someone who recommends buying from the comments on that article:

Quote

In the meantime you're saving on rent and getting experience with home ownership, it is really useful as we're on house number 2 and it makes it easier to get things done and have that confidence if you've maintained somewhere before.

I think this is the first time that I've seen "experience with home ownership" used as a justification for getting on the ladder before. :o When the tide starts turning, I guess you need to get creative.

That's neither here not there, it's little comfort to anyone that in the city of London in July 2016, they're now looking at at 20% real world loss ( including fees/interest ).

Shoulda rented.

Would like to b e sitting at their dinner parties of a weekend to hear the house price chatter.

"Reflecting tighter regulations, China overseas direct property investment could drop 84 per cent to $US1.7 billion ($2.15 billion) this year and about another 15 per cent to $US1.4 billion in 2018, according to Morgan Stanley."

Wait till the..."locals burn Chinese investors homes to the ground so they can build their own" effect comes into play. ( literally or metaphorically, who knows which )

Knight Frank's latest PCL report states that PCL prices are -5.9% year on year and -0.1% in the last month:

It looks like the 12 month change has been negative for a while using the Knight Frank measure (for over a year which suggests price falls for the last two years).

This thread was started not long before prices in PCL started taking a down turn.

Give the negative MSM articles we see daily now there's a good change things are falling apart pretty quickly.

I dont know anyone who is buying or thinking of buying now.

Everyone post 2007 miracle recover has sold and traded up ( more debt ) and are sitting waiting to make another fortune. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Agree with that Count. This is a good map from Knight Frank if anyone missed it earlier in the year:

Thanks.  Someone had to eventually :lol: 

If you look at that chart from the point of view of someone who's bought a house in the last 3 years, would it fill you with fear or joy ? 

Has CRASH written all over it.

The fear will (hopefully) eventually spread....

x2. Sometimes you catch a falling knife and if you keep your eyes shut,you won't realise you're bleeding for a while.

I think that's the 2nd year in PCL.

 

Some rare postcodes actually turned late 2014/early 2015 iirc.

Cracking.

They appear to be using sold prices for specific postcodes.Unadjusted for volume,season or anything else.What we on here, call reality.
