Thanks.

Does the land registry produce a report along the same lines as the banks, or does it simply publish the prices of all properties (leaving us to make the calculations)?

land registry is the one with the most weight (but it is a couple of months behind Nationwides and Halifax's data)

Apart from the fact they hide data deliberately that skews the data...

they hide some data

but do actually provide the most accurate information

the biggest point being they actually take into account house purchases without mortgages which is surprisingly a lot

(obviously halifax and nationwide do not include these)

They should include all data.
There's something wrong with a system that hides some house sale prices - just as it's wrong that MPs don't want to provide receipts for their expenditure like the rest of us have to for the tax man.

Thanks for those links.

I have noted the other replies and will research the data with a nice fat pinch of salt.

Cheers :beer:

Capital growth of 1.9% in one month, or capital growth of 1% in a year?

Decisions, decisions.

Hope all those hoping to judge the bottom of the market accurately saw it was in December.

Choo choo!. The train now appears to have left the station.
