the building trade taking a down turn might help clearing out the influx of eastern europeans. every cloud has a silver lining.

not quite the case , it's just that not many people are buying houses

and not many banks or the mortgage companys will give 100% now either
sothat will have some kind of effect

exactly the case. if theres less building work available and times become hard for a while many will go home.
