    Proof the Halifax Oct figures were a Turkey. I presume their (halifax) transactions figures are low which are causing the wild fluctuations.
    Nationwide was -0.7%, so nationwide seem to ba a bit more on the money.

    But saying that the halifax could be because of transaction base, the NE is getting some fairly large falls based on the release.

    Its because there has been a drop across the board on lower value housing sales causing an upward average house price which neither estate agents take into account when reaching their figures.


    The difference between Nationwide & Halifax house price average is solely due to the geographical areas where they collect their data.

    IE one has more higher value houses in their areas than the other.


    So you can safely say both Halifax & Nationwide produce flawed reports & have always done so.

    A fall is a fall unless you want to buy something more expensive. Then it is an opportunity to give consideration to.

    Oh, look http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11846182

    I love you anti-BBC nutters. Strangely enough, they seem to have noticed it at the same time you did.

    Not really crashing is it.

    My borough is up 0.3%, 11.9% annual. Not exactly a crash.

    Hounslow is up 0.5%, 9% for the year. I bet that gets ignored by someone...
