If they come round quoting what they said last year tell em to get stuffed, prices have dropped drastically everywhere in the construction industry so this then follows into the housing sector as people start buying work

I went to the ATM this morning and it said "insufficient funds".
I'm wondering is it them or me .

No Sh*t, your OP looks like the work of a 12 y/o!


Banks now calling in loans from companies who will have to shut up shop.
I was speaking to a conveyancing lawyer who had just be made redundant - along with 22 colleagues.

Builders and associated tradesmen, building suppliers manufacturers.

Car sales, production, parts and associated industries - the list goes on and on.

Get a grip mate, it is a ickle bit bigger than just the banks!

Buy to lets have dried up but they were only ever 10% of the market. I understand that mortgages are now harder so that means less house sales but new mortgages down 95%. I dont get it. That implies that most housesales were just people upgrading trying to make money. Or is everyone holding off buying in the hope of a fall.

You need 1st time buyers to complete the chain Once they stop buying it stalls everyone else from moving up the chain
