I am a bit taken aback that some people have actually believed the rubbish I wrote about leaning towers and water running down my walls. I am delighted with my apartment and can't wait to get the keys. I just wanted to make the pessimists rub their hands in glee when reading it as I felt sorry for them, that's the only way some people can be happy, when they hear about bad things happening to other people.

Yes there is a downturn in economies, yes things are all doom and gloom everywhere at the moment, but they always pick up! It's probably a good thing as it will take some heat out of the market and some developments are getting put on hold, so eventually rents will rise again, so don't let them panic you.
