    Yet again you try to heckle down but when you come against a backed up argument you run away.

    lol - Brit you and your reality denying lunatic fringe do make me laugh.

    i bothered to find the data just to prove that point...

    all property types have been selling and have had price ranges of on average 10% since Jan 2009 for all the areas you claim you've been looking at.

    that's flat's, maisonettes, terraced, semi-detached and detached properties which would cover all price ranges of properties not the high end properties that you claim are the only ones to rise

    here you go........ fill your boots Brit's - i like your never say die spirit though :T

    I'm using property bee to assess sentiment of individual properties or the market as a whole in the area I am looking at.

    Sold prices aren't very usefull to me if I am looking to buy a property and it has already been sold ;)

    Not to interested in asking prices as a whole either. Most of the properties I was looking at last month were down in price however because a flood of new property came onto the market asking prices were up. A month later these properties are now dropping their prices.

    From the BBC website (that well know VI scoundrel):
    Richmond upon Thames

    Average house price
    £567,570

    House typeAverage priceDetached£1,120,707Semi-detached£781,579Terrace£579,099Flat£322,818
    Annual change in house price
    +22.3%

    Quarterly change
    +10.1%

    Total number of sales: 791

    the 22.3% annual increase explains why Brit is so bitter and angry

    Well done.

    One day, somebody will explain the difference between asking prices and actual sold prices to the HPI deniers and they'll actually get it.

    In the meantime however, perhaps property bee should come with a financial health warning for really stupid people.:D
