    Has there been a 25% increase in house prices since Feb 09?

    Nope. But they did fall up to 25% from peak to the trough in Feb 09. You absolute spacker!

    Another fact I think you've picked up wrongly geneer

    Empirically, it appears as if your unsubstantiated assertions lack a certain amount of credibility. Sorry.

    Hamish wasn't talking about the drop from peak (also wasn't 25% incidently), he was saying he didn;t expect prices to go back to Feb 09.

    It pays to try and understand what's being said instead of spewing out random inaccurate information ;)

    Geneer is rapidly showing he exagerates facts to make them appear better (from his perspective) than what they really are

    Oldham is up 1.6% this month, we are either ahead of behind the trend here, probably behind as the peak was July 2008.

    Either way things are holding stable and the house fund is getting bigger, all is going well.

    If by "house fund" you mean your deposit, wouldn't it be better if prices were tanking rather than being stable?

    Yes very true, but I am glass half full kind of guy, stable is better than flying upwards.

    I'm pretty sure we discuss more than just the land reg figures on a monthly basis. ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Yes he was genius. Spamish was clearly making reference to the 2009 trough. And so - gasp shock horror - was I. :D

    It certainly does genius. Cos then you wouldn't be making a spacker of yourself with spacker comments like the above. ;)

    I think you will find I said that the market was a bit frothy then so I myself am quite content that that froth has been blown off. Otherwise the market seems a bit sticky "on the way down".
