    Ok Sweetcheeks, in 12 months I think prices will have dropped a further 10% and mortgage approvals will still be below 2007 levels. I still think 30% drops from peak are realistic and that recent "increases" are actually the result of low volumes earlier in the year. I think this because we are still in recession, job-losses are still high and sentiment will deteriorate as winter gets underway.:D

    I'm loving this Mewbs. I'm like the CEO of the survey, and you're my Project Manager: rounding everyone up and getting them on the case. Can you get Dopester, Amcluesent and Generali in please? Otherwise I'm giving your job to Graham (mainly so he can be on an above average wage and buy a house).

    I make the rules as it's my survey. ;)

    It was very clear: national house price by nationwide and LR index. So I reckon an average of those two. They should be pretty close anyway.


    Hang on, why Nationwide and not Halifax?

    Do you know something I don't about the direction of Nationwide v Halifax?

    I Put a link on Wilsons thread for Dopestar....figured he may like to win a Turkey Baster but haven't passed ships with Gen recently.

    I want the wallet.

    Are you directing this at me FC? No offense, but I have Project Manager Mewbs to do the work for me. I'm strategic surveying me.

    Yes but I'm contracted to work within this board. I'm not really prepared to go travelling, not on these rates.
