    it's a good luck to whoever is wanting/needing to buy a house now.

    prices will drop more or less depending on the areas, but that's not going to last long; people are always going to need houses.

      Affordable housing near me starts at about £750K for a 2 bedroom flat (10 min walk to canary wharf) must be 50K new flats in last 3 years and thousands more being or about to be built

      Now canary wharf is a ghost town forever, now it’s proved we don’t need offices

      Rents already down 30%

      House prices will soon follow as people move out of the shires or get kicked out as not paying mortgages or rent

            That's why I said "depending on the areas" London is doomed; I'm actually surprised those ridiculous prices held up this long.

                If the banks are dropping valuations for mortgage purposes, the volume of people able to afford any particular house will naturally fall too. It'll come down to sellers willingness/need to sell at lower prices.
