    Up 0.3% - It's the North.

    wouldn't have thought so - Halifax is very Northern based.

    houses aren't moving as quickly in northern England.

    I see your misguided optimism is rearing its head again :D

    Between -3% and +3%.

    :D

    +0.4%, just cus thats what I had last time and if I stick with it, one day I may be right.

    i'd go for YOY -3% and +3% - pretty reasonable.
    month on month impossible to predict and doubt Halifax and Nationwide's accuracy.

    i'd say it's realistic optimism. bought in February, at a 2004/2005 price in an area with 2006/2007 prices. i don't complain, experience of house prices in a previous recession helps... :)

    whatever it will be, it won't change my life - so doesn't really matter
