I read this article by Which the other day which confirms my feelings about the local property market over the past couple of years.

I've found the market really competitive and have been outbid on more deals than I care to remember. I usually invest in Sandwell, which has seen a 20% rise on it's average house price since the referendum. I feel the current level of both sale and rental prices are unsustainable in the local area, which would mean we are at a different point in the property cycle.
What does everyone else think?
Is there a way to prove my theory?
