Q:The mainstream thinking (not just the doom-sayers) is that house prices will fall by a minimum of 25% over the next couple of years, possibly far more. A property costing priced at 100,000 today may be 75,000 in two years time. It may be much less. They will not recover for ten years.
It really is that simple, if you are thinking of buying a first property then don?t. Keep saving your deposit (old fashioned idea I know), and watch the market tumble. Read the news (not the Dail
Q:I met up with a friend the other day and was surprised when she mentioned her friend rents a 3 bedroom house for £450 a month! I live in Berks and down here the same sort of property would cost double!!!
I then decided to check house prices and I can't believe I could get a 4 bedroom house for the same price as my 2 bedroom maisonette here.Around £160,000.

Q:I bought my property in late 2006 and have at the moment paid off about 20% of the capital. However given the drop in house prices everywhere, I really want to upgrade to a bigger / nicer one and I hope the readers here can give me some advice.

Q:Hi All
My job location is possibly changing from London to Edinburgh, one area that looks reasonable (well in todays market!!) in terms of house prices is Livingston. I can get a 3 bed detached for about 170k. Also is only about 25 minutes on train into Edinburgh.
Anyone from Livingston or know what sort of area Livingston is? Particularly the Eliburn area of Livingston as there seems to be a few nice houses there. My wife is expecting, so an area that is good to rai
Q:Will we lose big time if we go for Shared Ownership now?
We've just been offered to buy a share in a newly built flat under the Shared Ownership scheme (or is this called HomeBuy now?). With house prices falling fast, we are worried how this investment would be affected.
