What do the likes of Kate Barker, of the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee, and Hugh Pym, chief economics correspondent of the BBC, think will happen to the housing market this year?
Following Moody’s downgrading of building societies on the basis that house prices could fall 40% – which could leave lenders high and dry – today’s Great Housing Debate in Westminster could prove illuminating. Barker and Pym are among those on the Question Time-style panel.
This packed-out, invitation-only event, organised by the Wriglesworth consultancy, is being attended this morning by Estate Agent Today. We’ll report back in Wednesday’s newsletter.

Guys, understand your concern but unless your staff are thick there is a "Latest Property Vacancies" section on the side bar everytime staff or anyone opens the site. The site only make money from adverts- you could block the site access from your network. You must be London based, thats worth about 12K tops, up here in the sticks!
I also received the negotiator e-mail...i wasnt too impressed either. Dont tempt my staff again with a job that probably isnt available thus causing unrest in offices that are trying to work their way out of this tough time.
Organised By the Wriglesworth Consultancy? The same John Wriglesworth who in 2007 said "There's more chance of finding Elvis on the moon than a property crash in the UK".....?
Did anyone else get the email about a negotiator job vacancy? As a Director with Staff I don’t take kindly to attempts to poach my staff, however subtle the method. How would Estate Agent Today like it if I emailed their staff offering similar jobs for rival organisations? We signed up for the property blog and not to have our staff poached…..whoever authorised this email should explain themselves!
