Evidence of House Price Crash......

House prices crash by 10.5% in just one year - faster than the crash in the 1990's

Latest Nationwide data shows month-on-month fall on 2% bringing the yearly fall to a staggering double digit value of 10.5%, a value that was predicted for the next 3 years and also a value that was denied could ever happen by estate agents and other mortgage dependent businesses.




At this rate, 30% - 50% within the next 32 months is now almost certain. Prices only go up eh? Missed the boat? Thats one boat I am glad I did not buy a ticket for.

If you have bought in the last 18 months you are probably in negative equity.

If you are a first time buyer, who has resisted the pressure from parents and friends, well done and here are some dinner party quotes to get your own back.

Message for Declan Curry, BBC: You berk.

For a while now I have generously been giving you the benefit of the doubt, thinking perhaps your hands were tied up by Auntie. But... this morning you removed all doubt from my mind, and I am now certain you a shameless non-independent VI, no wonder they let you work at the BBC.

You haven't quite been able to admit to the fundamentals over the past year clearly showing that house price falls are going to be deep, and 12 months ago you ridiculed anyone who thought 10% would happen - well look at the data today.

Your smirky little comment "so prices have fallen, your not going to be able to get a mortgage anyway" directed at people who chose to sit out the lunacy shows nothing but a nasty jealous streak running through you.

You should also know that a lot of people are shortly going to be wiping that grin of your face when they buy properties in cash, or have a hefty deposit for a cheap mortgage.

I hope your high leveraged BTL empire is weighing you down.
