I'm not going to repost source material in every thread where we discuss commonly accepted facts and figures.
Try google.
Hamish,
Nice way of saying you can't.
You make a statement you should back it up. I also think you are getting confused it is your research not mine. If you do not want to back it up then people can draw their own conclusions.
The figures are hardly "commonly accepted" which is a bland, meaningless, statement which offers no substance. Rather like most of your posts."There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."
"I could play all day in my Green Cathedral".
"The Centuries that divide me shall be undone."

Do you? Still waiting for evidence to support the fact that 70% of the poulation want/need HPI and where Mervin King said that interest rates will hardly rise for years to come.
Also maybe you can tell us where RICS say that rents WILL rise as I cant actually see where they say this.
As Hamish rather thoughtfully told me "so I suggest you take it up with RICS." Perhaps he will advise you the same.
I think you are missing the point here. In the world of McTavish you are not doing your own research, as you need to research any wild statements he makes, and he is not going to do it for you.
His sage advice.

Spartacus, Thanks for clearing that up.
Hamish, It was all Mr Mannerings fault
Daddybear, I'm going to bed, to dream of double dips with crushed nuts and hundreds of thousands, whilst I float on lilo filled with QEZIRP.

Actually I said that 70% of people live in owner occupied housing.
And that the majority of people benefit from hpi. WHat they want or need is your interpretation, not mine.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

NAtionwide reported a similar figure in the July housing report.
From your article......The number of households in England is predicted to increase by more than quarter of a million a year over the next two decades, official figures showed today.
There are expected to be 27.8 million households by 2031, a rise of 6.3 million on 2006 levels driven by population growth and an increase in the number of people living alone.
Interesting. From a linked source, no less.:rolleyes:
An increase of 6.3 million households by 2031..... Which is 250,000 per year.
Even if you believe there is not a shortage of housing today (despite numerous reports to the contrary), in fact, even if you believe there is a surplus of housing today, you cannot deny that we do not have a spare 6 million houses.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Because I don't want the reference police trying to divert attention again with a load more boring posts:
http://www.nationwide.co.uk/hpi/historical/Jul_2009.pdf
Page 2 paragraph 4, if it's still too much work.
If it's still too much bother give me a call and I'll read it out

Thanks for doing that and all, but I find it frustrating that the muppets who chose not to pay attention the first few times it was posted and discussed in depth, now insist on trying to divert from discussing the facts by questioning the source.
They obviously are trying to score cheap points by hoping we now cannot find sources for old material. It's quite pathetic, so I don't feel like humoring them by wasting my time digging around for old sources.
Better they learn how to use google for themselves.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I know what you mean but to be fair I don't think those 2 were around when it was first linked, but you're right it is commonly accepted now. It's a bit like me saying the earth is round and then being asked for my source.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

OMG! When did they announce a moratorium on house building?
BTW, "numerous reports" of housing shortage? I haven't read any. Do you have any links?0
