But its all relative. If you sell you have to buy, unless you have more than one property?

My house sale completes in 2 weeks. Got in there just in time I reckon although the ott media attention isn't helping the housing market.

I'm going to rent and sit tight on the profit to see how things pan out.

Death of the Buy-to-Let greedheads? What's not to like? Hope the banks turn the screw bigtime on the fuckers and free up the housing for the first-time buyers and the key workers. Especially round here. A POX on your property portfolios

Problem is -- if the banks turn the screw bigtime, they'll also do it to the teachers, nurses firefighters etc who want a flat, and force them to come up with a MASSIVE deposit before giving them a mortgage....

Next door started at £249,995 and was sold for £223,000.

I have to say a property correction on prices is to be applauded.

Let's hope so - there are no key worker flats to rent in Brighton at the moment!

I would welcome a drop in prices. However, those that will suffer are those that have struggled to get on the ladder in the first place. The buy-to-letters will have made enough to cover any deficit.

I am looking at getting on the housing ladder soon, but biding my time. There are some fantastic properties on the market and the moment, alot of them being 'non chain'.

That's a hell of a lot of money to pay for a door.

NOW will someone explain why it's called the housing "LADDER"?

A house should be a place to live in. Not an investment.

Keep your fingers crossed that the buyers don't 'gazunder' you hours before you're about to exchange contracts, mate. Has happened to two of my mates - the buyers dropped their offer by £30,000 (in one case) right at the last minute, citing damp problems on the property, despite all being discussed and agreed beforehand. My friend had to exchange on the property he was buying, and after frantic, angry negotiations, had to settle for a £15,000 reduction on his place. f***ing outrageous. Fair enough, people can reduce the offer for sensible reasons, but blatant lying is apparently very common atm.

We're worried about that ourselves. Thinking about taking our place off the market now

Start on the first rung (single person studio flat)

Rung two (meet and move in with someone 1 bed flat)

Rung three (kids small house)

Rung four (get rid of kids retire ACTUALLY have MONEY buy a huge place and rattle around in it just because you can )
