    Guess what. Based on a report by Zoopla. So it must be true?

    Maybe either Hamish or Sibley will, however, translate the following for us:
    David Pollock, managing director at London estate agents Greene & Co, said: “These price rises come as no surprise. As long as there is a shortage of finance available in the market place, there will remain a shortage of properties for people to buy and live in. This high demand against limited supply equates to prices increasing.”

    Seems to be written in a new language, called "Pollocks"

    I wanted to post this story :mad:

    Well in laymans terms it mean everyone on HPC has had yet another hammering,got it wrong and will stay renting their bedsits forever.

    It must be a rotten time being a bear. Nothing positive for the only 'I told you so.
    :rotfl:



    Hahahahahaahahahahaah.

    Just seen the HPC gangs reaction to this story. It's put them down on the ground.
    They could get under a rattlesnakes belly with a top hat on.

    It seems unlikey that this is accurate given that every other index is showing flattish prices with a slight downward trend perhaps.

    Still the data are the data.

    This is what I call a downward trend.

    Yes, well... there's so much !!!!!!!! printed, and insane amounts of trolling on the internet that it's very difficult to know what to believe.

    The best thing to is simply ignore Sibley :laugh: and save diligently until I reach my target sum. Then I can look at what my options are.
