London House prices fall at fastest rate in 10 years

Legal Alien.

Indeed, let them tumble.

A total collapse would be better. London is an unreality at present and those who either have to commute or are paying all of their disposable income into rent would welcome it. 

I only really cared about the value of my house when I had a mortgage, taken out at yesterday's prices, secured against it. Now that I own it outright - f*ck it - I'm not exiting the housing market any time soon, and if I decide to move then the price of everything else will most likely have fallen in parallel.
