Good god, i've read the posts. Now unless you're actually thinking something you believe we all should know...
You inherited the money, you didn't say where from.
It's in an American bank?! My second question still stands. Would you still bring it back into this country?
'Tis just a question......
I'll take it you're predicting that the property tax in the forthcoming budget will rip the arse out of what is left in the property market with an immediate 20% drop in values in December, immediately after the budget, a further 20% drop in each of January and February, compounding to a near 50% drop from pre budget prices.
March will then see the vultures gather and enter the market, enter Eurocitizen stage left. The remainder of the year will see a 10% recovery in prices as they find a stable level, but of course with the anomolies of % gains post % losses*, this still only brings the market back to ~56% of pre budget prices.
Following on from this post cataclismic bounce things will settle into a steady holding pattern of about 1% growth in House prices per year.
You can't make predictions about the property market, but if the above proves correct, you'll do well with your march investment.
If we don't have a further cataclismic colapse between now and March, then you're looking at the long slow decline in your investment value until an eventual cataclismic colapse or an upturn in employment.
