This figure was reflecting sentiment pre the Spending Review. I'm stating (for the record) that I think there will be a big
in 2011 when people have digested that the SR was not so bad.

Having read the whole Q3 report there's not a lot of real news in it. House prices for England are 0.5% down in the quarter over all and 6.1% up on a year ago.
London house prices are still rising.
Prices in NI are on the increase again following a prolonged period of falls.
Still 10% more to fall to get to the losses recorded during the recession and 'credit crunch'.
All together it points to stagnation.0 -

Then a big spring bounce in 2011.....after the Spending Review has been digested and people realise that things are really not so bad....0 -
1.4% to go in the next two months and I would say that my 2010 prediction will be pretty much spot on.
More spot on than I could have predicted.:D (but TBF I think LR is the one to judge it on)0
