Debate House Prices

This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.
We'd like to remind Forumites to please avoid political debate on the Forum. This is to keep it a safe and useful space for MoneySaving discussions. Threads that are - or become - political in nature may be removed in line with the Forum’s rules. Thank you for your understanding.
We're aware that dates on the Forum are not currently showing correctly. Please bear with us while we get this fixed, and see Site feedback for updates.

    Results:-
    A property located in Outer South East which was valued at £100000 in Q1 of 2003, would be worth approximately £123028 in Q1 of 2011.
    This is equivalent to a change of 23.03%.

    Lets have it right.
    One of your hero's. You know like people whose posts you copy and paste on here. Whose views your share. Whose side you take has bought a house.

    Now where does that leave you?

    Yes there is. Sibley made a claim but when asked to back it up he couldn't and neither could you.

    Hero? :rotfl: I dont have any Sibley. I dont know him and have never met him. Why would he be my hero?

    As for RB buying a house. It makes not one bit of difference to my life. Why on earth would it? What goes on in your head to make you think that?

    Maybe it's your frantic frothy defence of RB that does it, you know, the guy you don't know and never met?

    Just a thought.

    Frantic frothy defence? :rotfl:

    Sibley said RB paid well and above for his house. I simply asked if he could prove this. Please point out where this is a case of "frantic frothy defence"

    Running my mouth? Not at all. I just wanted someone to back up their claim that they knew someone else's business.

    you obviously know hope that he didn't otherwise you wouldn't be desperate to prove otherwise.

    here's the Land Registry for the area

    hpi_report.asp?g=1&gt=1&a=Brighton+And+Hove&s=01%20January%202003&e=01%20April%202011&t=1

    obviously 2003 is lower than today or the Land Registry is a rubbish index bla bla bla
