Last year I predicted that the papers would start reporting pending property price crashes during April and May. Nothing clever about it, I just look at the figures for Q1 2016 which were skewed due to the 3% stamp duty and, if property prices/transactions then slowed as forecasted for Q1 2017, the papers would be able to populate headlines, whether a crash was coming or the market was just naturally slowing.
However, with an election to cover, the headlines took a little longer to come through than I thought...
