Prices rising ? Asking prices maybe due to deluded human nature.

It may be annoying but the seller is not obligated to sell their house for what you want it. If its not worth the extra money, walk away, no-one will buy it and you can then return with your original offer.weight loss target 23lbs/49lb0

3. There was clearly no bubble in UK prices when even with the deepest recession in a generation, even after the removal of 70% of mortgage funding, and even with the global financial crisis hitting, prices are now just 10% below peak and rising.
Hamish you are getting rally desperate now.
House prices are clearly falling and have been for months. You saying they aren't all the time doesn't make your argument any more just.
Interest rates have been slashed from 5-0.5% and held at 0.5% for 2 years in attempt to slow the house price crash. Yet prices are falling again as wages are frozen and inflation is rapidly eating to our pockets.
We had the biggest property bubble in British history, much like all the other biggest property bubble internationally in the US, USA, Spain, Bulgaria, Ireland, Canada etc at the same time.
Keep up your propaganda, Lending has tightened because the loose lending previously led to a giant housing bubble and nearly brought the western world to its knees.:exclamatiScams - Shared Equity, Shared Ownership, Newbuy, Firstbuy and Help to Buy.

No, but posting proof in the form of a graph clearly showing house prices rising certainly does.
If you still think prices are falling after seeing that, then the reality is you should have gone to specsavers....

I've been a [STRIKE]homeowner[/STRIKE] mortgagor for 12 of the last 14 years and I made sure that I had equity from the start. I have benefitted on paper from HPI, but in reality I simply have enough to buy another property. I sold my house in a matter of weeks because I accepted what it was 'worth' in the actual market. As it happens, I still think my buyers overpaid, poor lambs.sonnythecat wrote: »You evidently don't own a property. For most of us, the equity in our home is pretty much all we've got. I don't blame anyone for trying to hang on to every penny.
Cry me a river. You overlook the point that your home may not actually have the equity you think, except in your mind. Everything you've got may be worth little to anyone but you, in which case, take your house off the market and live in it.sonnythecat wrote: »When it comes to it, you'll have to take a realistic offer for that soapbox

Hamish look at the index on the side Percentage of peak price, not Price.
If you simply plot price of all 3 indexes it shows a clear fall.

Not sure about price rising, it has been pretty stable in school catchment area, even in down term.
We are still waiting for call from EA. But hve decided with hubby to walk away if not accepted. It's not our deam house, has a few things we need to change: ground floor extension, tiny tiny 4th bedroom.
Anyway, will let u know then:)
btw, anyone knows of cost for ground floor extesion + kitchen?0 -

Unless you think the previous peak price changes every month, your statement makes no sense.:rotfl:

Spot on. Only this way will vendor's and EAs get the message. Someone will have the right house for you and will be grateful for your generous offer.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.
