What? I'm sure the peak price of an inividual house is considerably higher than the values quoted there.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Funily enough, I have actually checked some individual house prices in Aberdeen, as there are now a good number of houses that sold in 2006/2007 which have sold again for higher prices in 2010.
So the average, AND the price of individual houses, are both higher now than in 2007.
Excellent news.:beer:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Another random map choice. This is presumably a nice residential bit.
