    Don't worry, just for you, I'll update with the Edinburgh figures when I have the time.

    Obviously. You're one of Geneer's Gals after all. :cool:
    Somehow, I suspect you're going to "miss" the next set of ESPC figures though.

    I don't miss or ignore any stats unlike some geneer.
    I see the facts for what they are

    What, like the post you've chosen to ignore.

    What post did I ignore?
    You've posted so many daft ones to be fair.

    That said, I see you chose to ignore my question.

    Deja vu.

    But lighty babes. We've been through this. The ROS figures for Edinburgh December 2005 are irrelevant for 2 reasons.

    1) The time it would reasonably take for some on to find and make an offer on a house.
    2) The time lag between completion and receipt of data by land registry.

    Just to take your point 2)
    2. How soon do transactions get recorded with RoS?
    Recorded/Registered sales usually arrive at RoS within a few weeks following the date of entry.

    So not the 3-6 months you think it is.
    Does this mean your Dec 05 shifted out to Jun 06 can be brought back to say Feb 06?

    Here you go (and anyone else interested in seeing the ROSEA Edinburgh stats in graph form)

    I would draw a linear line through the Edinburgh results, but geneer may not like the rising trend

    When I bought my last house it took 2 weeks to find the one I wanted, another week to negotiate with the vendor, a month from offer to completion. And RoS logged the details 19 days later.

    Roughly 10 weeks from deciding to look for a house until the sale details were posted on RoS.

    Sure, it might take longer if you're looking for something rare or obscure, but there's no reason for it to take 9 months in the vast majority of cases.

    Yeah, geneer doesn't like rising trends....

    It will lead to much angry shouting, and possibly even some irate cartoon posting. :D

    I suspect geneer is frantically knocking up a little cartoon that a primary school child would be ashamed of.

    It's not an alias.

    Hamish is on another forum it seems, creditcrunch.co.uk (he's everywhere!!). Geener appears to be from that forum, where they have a to and fro going.

    I think you'll find its not a to and fro its a fro and fro where Geneer is the guy with the white top in this video and Hamish the man in black (caution, contains some Geneer like language).
