    There's not a lot out there. People in Negative Equity aren't selling and people in really bad Mortgage Arrears are not getting their houses repossessed because the Govt knows this will bring property down to their true value. There are 100's of people not paying their mortgages who are living for free.

    Hold out for a while longer and you may see more and more properties coming on the market and hopefully prices will stop going up.

    Good luck!

    Thank you Lima :) yep have to agree there and then the ones that are available are being snapped up by cash buyers!! We bid on a house and lost it for 6k less than our bid as the lower bidder was a cash buyer so it could be sealed before Xmas :( we were gutted!! But what's meant for us won't pass us by !!!

    Lack if supply is also driving the price up. Spring should see more houses for sale, people don't like selling over Christmas or during school year
