Price rises on the way?

Absolutely ditto. If they dropped 20%, I'd be round the estate agent's faster than a rat up a drainpipe. I don't want it both ways - I want to own a house! I won't be buying a house with a view to selling it on, I'll be buying it to live in.

You mean "drastic" as in a rise to the 18% mortgage rate I was paying in 1975/6...? Or something a bit nearer to sanity?

I mean a doubling of interest rates as happened between May 1988 and October 1989 which caused house prices to drop by 42% between 1989 and 1996 (when measured as a multiple of household income).

And they know that fast running is needed when they see someone from the Valleys with wellies and a pair of velcro gloves... ;-)

I think I ought to remind all of you that the last time someone was prosecuted in the UK for performing lewd and unnatural acts with a sheep, he was English.

I reckon that the key thing that causes house prices to fall is unemployment due to recession - do we want recession?

I hate to say this but a guy was convicted in Hull a couple of years back for lewd and unnatural acts with a goat. His defence was that it was a female goat, and he didn't realise it was illegal.

That's not the point, the point is that at current levels first time buyers cannot buy a house.

And to bring this thread (somewhat) back on topic, he was doing it by the side of a railway line and a whole trainful of passengers witnessed the act!
