I’m currently saving up 50 000 pounds deposit for my first property that I want to buy in October this year…

but I’m just wondering if it’s still a good idea to buy in London right now…or will there really be a market crash this year?

My other chose is to buy a property back home in South Africa. With 50 000 pounds in SA, I could buy a 3 bedroom apartment in cash…

What do you think?

I understand negative equity but im not yet a homeowner so this doesnt effect me as such.

I was just wondering what the other negatives were of the housing slump and also the positive and the key question…When to buy and what I should be cautious of?

Thank you

I am looking for an alternative investment to the stockmarket. Something that would be tangible during a total market crash if one where to ever happen. I thought about land but you have to pay property tax. I tought about gold coins Well art is like stocks and you have to know about it or you could make some bad descisions.

Hi there. I bought a flat in London at possibly the worst time (March 2007); just before the peak in prices when properties were getting snapped up. I panic bought a tiny one bed big enough for just one person.

The good news is I got a tracker mortgage, so my payments have almost halved with interest rates dropping.

My relationship with my boyfriend has since grown serious, and we really want to live together. I really don’t want us to go back to renting, he has available money, but I don’t and neither do I have much equity in my flat – I bought it for 160K and put down a 10% deposit, so even if I sold it at the amount I bought it for I only have 14K to put towards a deposit with my boyfriend for a 2 bed place.

Do you think we should a/ live together in my tiny one bed and save for a deposit on a larger place (the cheapest option but least comfortable in space terms) or b/ rent a larger one bed and rent out my flat (more expensive option but more comfortable)

Hi Im an Australian property investor,

I have some property and would like to sell it. Although with whats happening around the world at the moment in the property market, Im not so sure when would be the best time to sell it?

If I decide to sell my property and the iminent property market crash occurs during the period I am selling it, I may end up selling the property for not much more than I bought it for or maybe the same amount, or even less.

Does anyone have an estimate on the expected time frame for the crash? Or can someone predict what will occur with the property market over the next two years? Id like a month to month prediction if possible.
