don't look the same to me, maybe my maths is worse than i thought...
Your figures, I suspect, are as a result of calculations done on the back of a Rizla packet?
Source please, (I know the answer to my question, so no nonsense)

Before Northern Rock down to -10%They're from the BBC websites property thing based on land registry data to 31 dec 2010, so not up to date but in any case you aren't seriously going to try to suggest that prices move uniformly throughout the whole of south east London, are you?0

A sharp challenge is not baiting.
Your post is not even a blunt challenge.0 -
OK, asking prices from the time of Northern Rock were 15/16% above what the asking price for Digger Mansions is today. Seems about the national norm.
As nobody got the answer right, it tells me that there are a lot around here who have an opinion, but not a valuable opinion.
As the prices achieved at time of Northern Rock for identical properties are on Digger Mansions coffee table, lets see if any of you can say what percentage of the prices achieved at the time of the Northern Rock fiasco, we at Digger Mansions will achieve.
Looks like the property bears are 1-0 up at half time.
Come on Hamish, you have yet to pick up a Digger gauntlet, what's the fear. Don't forget, 'In Hyperspace, nobody hears you blush'0 -
Before Northern Rock down to -10%54.55% said more than 10% cheaper now than back then. So how can nobody get the answer right?
Your poll didn't include values greater than 10% less, or it was badly written and nobody understood the question.0 -
Before Northern Rock down to -5%OK, asking prices from the time of Northern Rock were 15/16% above what the asking price for Digger Mansions is today. Seems about the national norm.

In Sep 07 (when NR crashed), according to LR, the average house price was £184k, now it is £163k. That's a better way of determining the "national norm". That's about an 11% drop. I suggest you get your misses to run round with a hoover, give the place a coat of paint and cut the grass and you might see yourself getting the proper price for your gaff.0
