Your living on the moon mate

A survey of 5000 people. That's about as useful as an election poll then.

If identical houses in comparable locations are different amounts then wages must be too. I suggest your £120k flat is probably in a city center or something...

If you check the on screen graphics for the polls they are usually about ~1000 people.

This would be more accurate :P

remind me what the unemployment rate is... 8%ish....

Actually the true unemployment rate is closer to 30%. Official statistics only last week showed that over 8 million adults in the UK are economically inactive.

I'm jsut saying - larger sample size = more accurancy (usually) *

*unless it's government figures :P

10%. Wow. Does this mean less FTBs, or did people get 10% wage increases / easier access mortgages last year? Maybe the bank of Mum and Dad could bail out Greece next. Or Gordon.

to be fair to those numbers the official figures aren't too far from those numbers i think and that's from 30 million people...

i've never agreed about the smaller sample sizes btw.
the noise is filtered out in the algorithms and are decent indicators to how house prices are calculated.
