    After the crash we were house buying and shown a house by an estate agent and while being shown around we asked why the price was still high, the agent said that the seller could not sell for a lower price as it would put them in negative equity. Naturally we bought another house, why would anyone with a sound financial mind buy into a property and put themselves into instant negative equity? You'd have to be an idiot.

    rentals in the Northwest are the same as they were 8 years ago!! there is a glut of apartments in city centre manchester due to over building and redevelopment where many landlord is probably running at a loss to stay above water. This is complete marketing spin by desperate people, reality is so so different.

    It might help if "gazumping" or whatever it's called is illegal. And Buyers have to pay a deposit to secure the property, and sellers are not allowed to pull out, unless it's a compelling reason. It won't be fair for both parties otherwise.
