House Prices could fall a further 55% - landlords don't panic

Concerns that landlords who bought buy-to-let flats are expected to “begin panic selling” could conspire alongside other elements in 'bankrupt Britain' to an almighty property crash.

“It is the action of these amateur investors over the next few months which we are most concerned about,” the report says. “We expect some to begin panic selling their portfolios, with the peak volume as is almost always the case with private investors, being at the market trough.”

The report predicts that the average price for a property in Britain could fall below £100,000.
