these so called experts have never got it right from
the very first housing spike in 3rd qtr 71, builders know
it is their best interests to keep supply tight,

they cannot trust the banks who can pull an overdraft,
at the drop of a hat in a downturn,
having seen so many go to the wall on as little as the value of a couple of houses, which is happening now in Australia, in turn blamed on
currency speculators,
I asked pwc auckland if it was a good time to buy a city centre flat just 38k
in 01, as the builder of princess wharf had just gone bust, they said no wait
which has turned out to be costly advise given me

But Professor Paul Cheshire of the LSE, an expert in urban policy who will address this year's Housing Market Intelligence conference in October, told the BBC that the problem with the market is the land restriction caused by sticking to green belt policies devised in the 1950s.

and until these archaic and outdated policies are resigned to the history books house prices will continue to soar.

I think landowners should be given a tax break if they put forward their land for development, and a double tax break if the land forwarded is a fallow and sterile field. ;;-)

Housing market risk to recovery, says IMF

The housing market is a threat to the UK's economic recovery, the International Monetary Fund said today (June 6).

Echoing comments made by the Bank of England governor Mark Carney in May, the IMF wrote in its report on the UK economy that a lack of supply was the fundamental problem. It acknowledged the government's efforts to boost supply, but highlighted the remaining barriers to increasing housebuilding.

"These include: unnecessary constraints on brownfield and greenfield developments, tax policies that discourage the most economically efficient use of property, and underdeveloped rental markets with relatively short lease terms," the report read.

IMF also called on the government to consider modifying or ending the Help to Buy mortgage guarantee scheme before the end of its three-year term if house prices continued to climb rapidly.

The report proposed the setting of limits on the number of low deposit mortgages that lenders could issue. This "would help to contain directly the currently most pressing risks to financial stability".

But Professor Paul Cheshire of the LSE, an expert in urban policy who will address this year's Housing Market Intelligence conference in October, told the BBC that the problem with the market is the land restriction caused by sticking to green belt policies devised in the 1950s.

He is entitled to his view, I think his posts show a misunderstanding of the
housing market, however the daily share price is far more difficult to call
and any wider equity sell off sees everything lower.

However, his view that we are on the verge of some monumental bust in housing is
very wide of the mark, just IMV.

There used to be a poster on a few sites who always posted a gif of a guy holding a welsh flag humping a sheep.....was that toffee, lol
