I know 2 sellers in the south east who have had no enquiries, even at
2004 price levels. One is resigned to taking a 10% cut on what he paid 2 years ago. Of course we're short of houses but it doesn't help when everyone trades up to the biggest house they can just about pay this month's mortgage on. Tax free profits and cheap loans have distorted the market somewhat I think.

Maybe in the odd street or two. Don't expect an epidemic though.

Maxie, you superb indeed. You are a profound deep thinker.
Doesn't the (widening) gap between the number of new houses built each year and the number "needed" come into the equation?

Now that I like, very hackish and probably very effective too.
Of course, but if you look at the context, I was giving a simplistic response to a simplistic troll
One million Eastern Europeans doesn't help.
Hello Maxie. Have you a handle on the flatulence yet?
ren't they the ones who are building the houses?
Oh come on, the population of Lowestoft isn't that large.
