  We analyse, following recent work of Roehner, changes in house prices for
both the UK and Ireland. We conclude that prices in London have reached a
tipping point and prices relative to inflation are set to fall over the next
few years. If inflation does not rise then a hard landing seems likely. House
prices in the Irish Republic are shown to have broken away from the moderate
rise still to be found in Northern Ireland and Dublin has emerged as another
global 'hot spot'. An evolution of Dublin house prices similar to that in
London can be anticipated. Keywords: Econophysics, house prices, real estate,
