We’ve written it before and we’re writing it again - now could be a good time to buy a home.

And we’re not alone in thinking this - The Sunday Times agrees with us too.

It is better to buy in a declining market - because you won’t be the only one to spot a good deal when the market starts to turn.

With the Northern Rock starting to offer sensible mortgages again, you could secure the house of your dreams now - before the pent up cash ready renters who are poised to pounce once they feel the market has hit rock bottom sweep the rug from under your feet.

Perhaps it is time to revisit the market? Judging by the significant increase in visitors to this site in recent weeks, and estate agents reporting an increase in interest and sales - you won’t be alone.
