i think the massive rise was probably unsustainable but generally there should be a slow steady increase in line with everything else
my flat went up by over £100k in the space of about a year, and although i had spent a lot on rewiring etc, that is simply ridiculous. mind you, some 3 years later, it's still valued at the higher level, just not gone up any further

I think it's the "in-line with everything else"but that has gone wrong.
25 years ago my dad earning, relatively, not much more than I am now could buy a 4 bedroom house for his family. Now this is most definitely not the case. Sadly short of a massive crash in house prices, or a very long term freeze while pay catches up I cannot see this state returning.
