    Another point would be that you've been saying it's townhouses that's skewing the data.
    That's not what the ESPC link is showing as city centre properties are down whilst it's suburb 4 bed detached that are propping up the market.

    Ah well. How about I call them teapots.
    The massive half million point teapots that rich people like to buy.
    Who cares? :D
    Note you've changes from town houses to "a single, very expensive (average is lower than the 1/2 million townhouses you inferred were skewing the data) house type"

    Aren't we going with teapots now? Yawn.
    With so many areas down and only one marginally up, it really does indicates the likelyhood of extreme minor transaction levels that the ESPC are calculating this over, hence my query on the number of transactions

    What, because ROS isn't prone to the same skewing effect.
    Might want to check your facts on that one. ;)

    Honestly Lite, if its good enough for the scotsman, and good enough for Spamish, its good enough for me. :rotfl:
