The difference between fact and fiction supplied by estate agents squtting themselves senseless and releasing press releases trying to tell us whats happening, isnt happening except the government is now telling us that it is happening.

OXFORD (i.e. the city centre) is/was supposed to be more recession proof, not Oxfordshire.

The only drops I have seen in the city centre are properties that were way overpriced to begin with, and so much cheaper to rent rather than buy.
