UK bank chief warns on house prices
news.bbc.co.uk
Mervyn King, the Bank's deputy governor, said late on Tuesday that sustained house price growth at a time of global economic weakness could lead to a "large negative demand shock" later on.

"Beneath the surface of stability in the UK economy lies a remarkable imbalance between a buoyant consumer and housing sector on the one hand, and weak external demand on the other," Mr King said in a speech at the London School of Economics.

"Even the optimistic Mr Micawber would realise that this cannot continue indefinitely," Mr King added, referring to a character in the Charles Dickens novel David Copperfield.
