Even if there is a fall, the market will pick up again, I'm sure.

Not if Labour eventually get their way with the sellers pack:

Apparently:

1) You have to get a sellers pack prior to putting the house on the
market (cost about £1000).
2) The sellers pack has a shelf life of 6 months, so you can't keep it
until next year to put the property back on the market (that's another
£1000 please madam).
3) The reports in the sellers pack won't be acceptable to the building
societies, so the buyer has to pay again to have surveys done.

Someone please tell me why these sellers packs are a brilliant idea?
