Bought to the prices above the real wages being offered to the local employees, the property was offered thus above the capacity of open-market purchase.

At this time there are typical discounts of 30% to 40% as the purchase left the investors who bought blocks of apartments liquidate in mass. Because of the disparateness of wages, the local people cannot buy these properties even with the low prices, alternatively still creating another to the bottom spiral. Because interest rates of interest now doubled the income for the purchase left investors entered a situation of loss, leading even more sales of property.

It must mention that the current policy of the BRITISH government of the mobile offices of government apart from the capital must partly be responsible as a great number of employees of London were known as to move at these new offices or to face the dismissal or to the bottom evaluation and to be moved at other departments in the government. This alternatively led to a circle of the speculation where the purchase left investors bought in mass these properties of work of government being evacuated in the capital and invisibly filled with fuel a volume of transactions of property never not before sights in London.
