MSE News: Land Registry: monthly house prices drop 0.6%

chucky

but anyway Carol - instead of engaing in this personal stalking that you seem to be doing to Harry Powell and myself at the moment.

what's your view on the previous comments related to house prices?

carolt

House prices? There was a discussion of house prices?

Sorry, this appeared to be the personal attack thread.

You'd never have guessed that house prices were under discussion at all. (v useful rolling eyes smilie)

Anyway, chucky, good to see you admitting that you have indeed deleted numerous threads.

I think one needs to review the thread and see who is making personal attacks.

Tip try looking at post 37 for starters

There was decent discussion on house prices in related areas until then.

Their figures were reliable enough to most of the 'bears' when they were falling, what's changed (apart from the fact that they're not falling)?

I've always said the figures mean nothing, in terms of the big picture... the incoming wave, cares little about the rain.

Of all three sources, only the land registry is half believable - albeit susceptible to very high or very low priced fluctuations in the local market.

However, unlike the other two sources who have a massive vested interest, the Land Registry takes it's data from actual selling price and not mortgage approvals.

Strange that both lenders report almost twice the increase of the Land Registry - how's that work?

What you must consider is that neither Nationwide nor Halifax contain full market data, therefore the LR data is more accurate.

People lean towards the Nationwide and Halifax figures as they don;t have the lag of LR and historically have been proven to be a good indicator of what is likely to be seen on the LR, albeit not an exact replica

What Nationwide and Halifax do is publish numbers based on approvals, and I don't claim these figures are inaccurate.

But they aren't sold prices, which means they are of little interest to me.
