No it isn't going to crash but it is in the news this morning that it has slowed down. I think it will continue to slow down and interest rate rises will continue in order to fuel this slow down.
What you want to do is dependent on how much risk you want to take. If you have cash in hand, you could buy another but if you plan to develop and sell on (particularly if it is a small flat rather than family home) you may have trouble re-selling. It may be best to bank your money in a high-interest savings account for at least six months and see how the market fares. |

I personally cannot see the U.K. property market crashing. It may just slow down for a few months. Investing in property is on the whole, a very good investment. |

The market is well overdue for a correction - most likely up to 20% of current values.
All markets - whether real estate, stock, bonds, futures etc - go through cycles where values decline. The good thing about property is that although the market value may decline temporarily, the property is still there; when the market recovers, you'll still have a marketable asset. |

Sorry for you but I certainly hope there will be.
Too many greedy people asking for more and more for their houses, mostly estate agents who have the most to profit from a rising priced market. If agents on commission were taken out of the housing chain, prices would probably only rise by the inflation rate and the Treasury would have a much easier job on their hands.
In the 2 years I've been in my current location a 3 bed semi has gone from £150k to £250k. |

Yes it will! Please learn from the history and the cycles of the property market. It relies on basic economic theory of supply and demand. When there is a shortage of property and a surplus of buyers prices go up. This will change when on of two things happen......interest rates become too high for the salary earner to service or salaries do not keep pace with property price rises. Both factors only require time, just a matter of when, and when it does, it is vicious [I remember the 1989/90 crash] 2b/r property in Central London could be picked up for £60000 in 1995 |
