I'm not repeating the pitfalls of taking a headline from a building society at face value.

Nothing new here folks...

Tiggs

no...we should use headlines from scoobynetters


"Nothing new here folks.." you're right...house still going up!

Not in Oxfordshire they aren't

Annnnnnnd there off

here we go again

funnily enough I thought we hit our peak in grantham ages ago, some houses struggling to sell others selling straight away, basically the normal market people only buying a house that is worth it but suprisingly, a house round the corner (friends too) have put theirs up for £145k whereas I suspect it can only be worth £130k average. they are getting veiwings too which is suprising as its nowt special

That'll mean that the BoE will be putting interest rates up by a gnats chuff of a percent again. J

I'm not so sure. They don't just look at house prices, but industry as well. If they go too high then industry gets clobbered. So long as the inflation targets are on track I think they'll leave things alone for a while to see how things pan out.

Oh theres a surprise, another rosy monthly report on house prices from the UK's biggest mortgage lender, the Halifax?

Despite low interest rates, high employment, crap stock market returns house prices have risen way way too high.

Heres a report from one of Londons most successful fund managers, and like many others he sees a correction coming (he reckons 40% fall)

You're not suggesting that a mortgage lender would massage the numbers in a vain attempt to stop the market falling through the floor would you??

These muppets who just look at the building society reports

woodford is talking crap to pump up equity investment...if i had a £1 for every equity fund manager that has talked down house prices in the last few years.......i'd have made as much as my house price!

LOL so we have "please put money into equities" saying house price crash of double the worst case on record, and we also have "please take out a mortgage" saying the house price bubble is still expanding.

Its all spin, I blame Blair

Right thats NSR nearly done, just need a lonely heart thread and the GOD thread to spiral into name calling, almost there now
