Halifax seems to have a lot more volatile figures (tho trend seems to be v. similar). Do the two companies calculate monthly figures differently?

-2% would have seemed so big last year. Our guesses used to be ambitious at -1.5--1.8%. It just seems an inevitable aside now.0

18% down in 18mths is on average 1% per month so no idea where you are getting 2% from
This thread is clearly a pi** take, with no factual evidence behind it? Strange why someone would waste their time like this without backing it up 0 -

Next few years at 2% month! If you interpret a few years as say 3 years that would equate to about a further fall of 52%, I don't think so0
