    am i to take your recommendation to mean you are his sock puppet, he is yours, or is it just good old-fashioned straight foward sarcasm? :D
    The third option, although not meant as a slur on either himself or you. More of a name check really.

    Dont know most of these cities well enough but bet the biggest fallers have had lots of BTL activity and lots of new build flats.
    yes, that would be my (uneducated) guess.

    Don't believe this for a minute, I live in chesterfield and there's a lot of new builds that will have bombed in value. Also since its a relatively small town I doubt there have been enough transactions to build up a reliable picture. In summary another load of garbage statistics.

    I've just realised it says top 19. Why? Why not 10 or 20, some number that we would normally use? Imagine Jimmy Saville counting down the top 19 on a Thursday night.

    Sevenoaks is commuter heaven! There will always be a big demand there from high flying london types ;)

    I think it's because they've limited the list to places with up to 5% drops
