Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, told BBC economics editor Robert Peston the UK has a property bubble.
Peston said "he talked to me very openly – he thought there was a bit of a property bubble here in the UK".
Mr Carney also warned a rise in interest rates in the UK - to follow on from expected increases in the US - could be a shock to investors and the market. However he thought banks were stronger than before, saying we shouldn't experience as much devastation as previously felt in 2008.
David Cameron has outlined his four goals for reforming the UK's membership of the EU, including restrictions on benefits for people coming to the UK.
He said Britain faced a "huge decision" in the in/out referendum promised before the end of 2017.
But he said he was confident of getting what he wanted from reform talks.
Anti-EU campaigners say the talks are a "gimmick" - and the European Commission said the UK's benefits proposals could break free movement laws.
