Have to be clearer about % drop real or nominal terms. Both the last crashes needed about 25% drop in real terms (South) before the market bottomed - high inflation made that process fairly quick. If the low inflation environment in UK continues, it would take a few more years to drop 25%.

Mortgage lending surges as owners dip into equity
CML figures showed that the number of first-time buyers fell from 39,100 a year ago to 32,980 last month. Martin Essex, a senior economist at Capital Economics, said: "With a loss of momentum from the bottom of the ladder, it is only a matter of time before the significant slowdown we expect kicks in."
Figures from the Inland Revenue show the number of property transactions completed in March fell to a two-year low of 123,000.
BT admits to £8bn pensions deficit
Some Londoners were clever enough to sell at the peak of the boom and are now exploring country life without committing all their capital.

House seller who raised price 'taken hostage'
A businessman desperate to buy a £600,000 farmhouse took the vendor hostage and terrorised him for two hours after he suddenly raised the price by a further £200,000, a court was told yesterday.
Lester Stacey, 39, kept 50-year-old Adam Adamou imprisoned, punched and abused him, and at one point threatened to gouge his eyes out with a pen, it was alleged.
When Mr Adamou, who suffers from angina and has had heart bypass operations, lay on the settee and asked Stacey to call an ambulance he refused. And when the farm owner tried to call the police Stacey ripped the phone off the wall, the jury heard.

hard to know sometimes who to put on the ignore list....quite a few names buzzing around. Do you suggest anyone in particular, or just say the hell with it and ignore all two dozen of you?
