    lol - you do make me laugh :)

    property bee = asking prices = down (allegedly but not on Rightmove)

    land registry = selling prices = up for your area

    it must mean that each month a higher percentage of the asking price is being achieved each month for houses...

    Is there really a need to explain the difference once again between asking prices and sold prices?
