The problem here is though. "The bigger the boom the bigger the bust".
The banks being capitalist buggers saw a bit of a loop hole.
Things were going well in the economy. If I deposit £1 in a savings account the government allows the bank to borrow out £10. Not bad work if you can get it. Thats £10 they dont have. But the banks not being happy with that, would take my 10k as a deposit and lend you 100k. Instead of waiting 25 years to get their 150k or so back, they sell lots of mortgages together in a bond (the likes of mine and your pension goes here). So I deposit 10k, they lend 100k, the get 130k back for the bonds. Not they can lend out 10 * 130 k. And so on. I think it works something like that. Maybe not quite that exponential but something like that.
So when the goings good, the banks are making a mint.
Harry consumer in the meantime thinks his house is worth 300k when he paid 100k. Oh I will withdraw some money from my house and get a flash car, go on a few nice holidays, get some work done on the house etc, pay off my unsecured debt etc. He is funding the economy based on his over inflated house.
The banks started getting weary as they sold far too many risky mortgages. They stopped lending money to each other as they started feeling edgy. The bonds which they still had some liability one were getting defaulted left right and centre. Stock markets, currencies start dropping. Its harder to get a mortgage. Harry consumer notices his "normal" spending habits cant continue. He starts reigining in his spending. Jobs start going on the high street. Less tax is getting paid. The public sector spending gets tightened. Public sector spending on private sector projects get cut. More private sector jobs go. Harry consumer goes into negative equity. Harry consumers mortgage goes up when his fixed rate comes to an end, and banks are still scared to lend. Harries pension fund hits the floor and Harry is on the street.
Inflation starts rising. The government puts interest rates to 15% to stave off inflation (even though its futile, they need to stop printing money).

All down to the greedy banks and the government.

*Disclaimer I dont know what I am talking about... but it might work some thing like that

Anyway some reading for anyone who is interested.

Leaked memo - Housing minister thinks house prices will fall at best 5-10 % year on year

The number of loans to first-time buyers declined in March to 17,800, down 1% from 17,900 in February and 45% from 32,500 in March last year.

Surveyors' mood is gloomiest in nearly 30 years as slump deepens

Dont get too depressed!!

If house prices fall it's good for me, means I might actually be able to afford one in the future!
