I don't think the UK property will crash. this would take a real disaster. Prices fluctuate of course but since most people buy on mortgage then they need to sell at a price which will repay their debt so there is a built in resistance to house prices coming down whereas if house prices go up estate agents make more commission and mortgage lenders make more interest so there is a built in underlying boost for house prices to rise

The crash in property has been expected for the last couple of years now and could happen very very quickly.
I would be very careful in a choice of Mortgage and house right at the moment.
I brought my property at the bottom of the last crash for 36k, it has just been valued at 135k, if I could move in somewhere at the same mortgage price I am paying now, then I would! But the lowest I could get is way out of my budget range.

I suspect there will be a crash in the next few years. However in 1989 my house was worth £120,000 a year later it was around £90k, after 5 years it was back to £120k but now worth over £350,000. So if there is a crash just sit tight and it will eventually bounce back.
The only thing to worry about is I can remember 15% interest rates, true it only got to 15% for a few days but it was well over 10% for years.

I doubt there will be a crash but a slow down in prices as there is a shortage of properties. If there is a crash then it will help 1st time buyers getting onto the property ladder but will screw those who have just bought.

The marketplace is unquestionably previous due for a correction - maximum in all danger as much as twenty% of contemporary values. All markets - in spite of if genuine supplies, inventory, bonds, futures and so on - bypass by using cycles the place values decline. the income of supplies is that regardless of the undeniable fact that the marketplace fee could decline quickly, the valuables remains there; while the marketplace recovers, you will nonetheless have a marketable asset.
