House prices
this is half opinion, and half hope

house prices aren't going to go down all that much, because people who bought fairly recently, like me, would end up in huge amounts of negative equity and unable to remortgage their houses or meet increasing costs and thereby lose their houses.

I'm hoping that the work I've done to my house will have kept the price at what it was at least, if not added some more to it, and I'm lucky to live where I do, but if things do go tits up then I could potentially lose my house.

In spite of the fact that at 27 and 26 my gf and I earn way above the average and are generally pretty good with our money.

without meaning to give offence to the Loon, the situation wouldn't be quite so bad if it weren't for people panicking and media scare-mongering.
