Land Reg have quietly revised last month's figures down to -0.9%. This month's figures are actually -0.6% on last month's headline figures.0

RPI inflation was 4.8% last year. So whilst the price has increased by 1.5% in a year they are actually worth 3.3% less.

Shares, gold, oil, funds etc. Now is not a good time to keep money in banks. Investing is the best way to keep savings safe from inflation.yes But what is keeping pace with inflation

1.5% of the property value is (principle private residence) tax free gain.
And its actually earned over 10% off my initial investment whooo hooo.

So when the £ value decreases property values increase? Those items I listed previously can keep savings independent and can even exceed inflation.please dont talk the inflation up, because the only hedge against inflation IMO is property... once the short term NOISE is evened out!0 -

You think i dont know this... what part of... i tried but failed dont you understand? I lost 50% of my investment, will i be going down this road again... yes, but not with my house deposit, with my pension, which has time to grow regardless.
You invest in gold... who brings it round your house?... your investing in paper... your GAMBLING... thats it.
Your better off buying antiques.
You invest in oil... imagine joining the band wagon in 2008 when it shot up high up to what was it ... $150 per barrel... i bet the traders were all selling at this point, letting mugs like you take the fall all the way down to $50 per barrel.
Funds... the only winners overall are the management companies, the dealers, and the insurance companies.Plan

Round my way, new houses for sale are coming onto the market for less than equivalent houses that are already on sale.
