    Can someone please link to the regional figures, I can't seem to find them?
    Im not sure about these regional figures, as Nationwide only include these in their quartely reports, and the next one is not due until March.

    Is Nationwide only a UK average?

    Yes, it includes all parts of the UK, including N.I.

    Regional data is only available on the quarterly report. Even N.I is up from trough, although not by much.

    I'd rather not rush out now and buy and overpriced house only for the recession to really hit.

    House prices rises fuelled by a bunch of idiots whose only real intent is to cling onto power :rotfl:

    So a bit like seeing a shop having a 50% off sale but not being able to find out what particular products are discounted. :D

    You would have thought they would have better things to do, like spending all the money they have made from their houses.

    Oh right, not sure what figures westv was talking about then, I must be reading it incorrectly.

    So you're not worried HP's might be going up too fast then? 10% YOY rises seem like suicide for the housing market to me.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    not that i'm saying that it is... but could that 10% rise be a re-adjustment/re-correction of the negative over correction in 2008?

    just a thought... :)
