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.

Any chance of a link to the properties listing? It'd be interesting to see what it looks like for that price.0

Don't forget 2007 "values" were only paper valuations.
I wonder if any of the HPI cheerleaders can point us to a house that sold at the peak in 2007 and then sold again this year for even more."The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether they are genuine or not" -

Blimey, that would be quite a challenge considering the average fall of nearly 20%. I imagine that there will be some 'property developed' places out there, but then you never know how much were spent on them.
I'll have a scout on House Prices, I like a geeky challenge. I'd prefer not to be labelled a 'HPI Cheerleader' or 'Debt Junkie' if I find one though. Don't think I'm either.
And just to be pedantic, aren't all years values 'paper values'?0 -

New build flats too... although one of the problems with those is often they're bought by companies, so not on the LR.0
