In the FT today -
City bets on 7% fall in house prices By David Oakley and Chris Giles Published: November 25 2007 22:38 | Last updated: November 25 2007 22:38 The City is betting on UK house prices falling by 7 per cent next year in new tradeable derivatives contracts, which some bankers say is the best indicator of the market’s direction as millions of pounds are riding on the outcome. These future housing contracts, which were published for the first time this year and have seen a surge in trading volumes in the past few months, are predicting much bigger falls in property values than other non-tradeable forecasts. EDITOR’S CHOICE UK economic growth revised down - Nov-23UK Daily View: Case builds for UK rate cut - Nov-23Prospect of negative equity looks distant - Nov-24Investment in UK stagnates - Nov-23Steady output eases pressure for rates cut - Nov-20Retail sales fall hits sterling - Nov-15The Nationwide building society expects house-price inflation to fall to zero in a year’s time, while Capital Economics expects a 3 per cent fall in prices. The derivatives contracts are also pricing much bigger falls next year than they were a month ago, when they were predicting a 2 per cent decline. Peter Sceats, a derivatives broker at TFS Property, said: “Bankers, hedge funds and property companies are putting their money where their mouth is and that makes these prices more reliable than economic forecasts in many respects. “Bankers who are making these trades can get it wrong, but with contracts worth up to £100m it makes it more important that they get it right. It is interesting that they are more gloomy, but maybe that is because there is money involved.” The price predictions, which are based on the Halifax house-price index, are considered reliable a year out. The futures contracts predict the average house price in the UK will fall from £197,817 to £183,970 in a year’s time. The contracts predict prices will remain stable around this level for the next five years before they start rising again. The UK residential property derivatives market only began to see serious trading volumes this year as more banks, investment funds and developers sought to speculate or hedge their exposure to property. Brokers say last month was their busiest ever. The market is estimated to be worth about £4bn, a threefold increase on this time last year, according to TFS Property. |

''CRASH'' which ''may never happen''. The country would have to be in a dire situation for it to really crash! Have you paid off your Mortgage tony? how will you cope?

Good luck.
Anyway, it is only when you sell that you will crystallise any losses. Just make sure that you don't upset the misswah. You could always hedge with a spread bet the other way ...... |

Short the Nationwide index for example.
Buy to let investments are currently showing negative yields with a downside outlook so I am not sure that the idea of letting it out will be a winner. |
