Are you worried about the property market?

Are you worried about the property market?

The market is set for a downturn, are you worried about your property value? Are you a first-time buyer struggling to get on the property ladder? Who do you think is to blame for the high cost of housing in the UK? What do you think will happen to the market during 2008?

    Do you know what after all the moaning about not owning property i am actually very very relieved i own bugger all, it all gets stolen by tax man so why bother owning anything. I am happy to live in a shed.

    The prices are high because of demand. It’s simple economics. People that bought a second home to rent out pushed up the prices; but are now struggling with payments as the rent does not cover the mortgage. Idiots that bought housing at the peak have also over stretched themselves and defaulted through arrogance and stupidity. This is what happens when a government encourages people to spend and prolong the ‘economic high’, it eventually comes crashing back down if left too long unchecked. The government is only partially to blame; consumer greed and stupidity are now paying for losing their own homes and falling prices.
