    I really am confused. I can only conclude an agenda is at foot.

    It has now been pointed out by more than one poster that her 1 dimensional view is skewed, and inconsistent.

    It has been pointed out that MSE has reported a quote.

    It has been pointed out that MSE does report housing matters.

    It has been pointed out that she is inconsistent.

    Helpful, friendly people have tried to advise how one can examine a conclusion to test its validity.

    She clearly chooses to ignore this.

    chucky does have a profession i am sure of it..chucky what is it ?
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Such selective reporting does the site - and Martin- no favours.

    Perhaps they should run everything by you first.

    You could be the impartial arbiter of everything that goes on the site.

    This forum is dedicated to House Prices,


    and features a nervous symbiosis consisting of everyday folk predicated upon by an army of gloomy souls that sweat at the thought of money loss.

    Prices go down prices go up, ho hum, over a lifetime nothing to be concerned with unless you are so zero'ed in on relative cash accumulation that it becomes your God.
