The worst thing about Australia is the cheese*. Their equivalent of cheddar is called 'Tasty' I think that they meant to call it 'Tasteless' but the name didn't go down so well with the focus groups.

I remember that rubbish. They have some racist cheese too.

I'm glad the Nationwide figures weren't up otherwise this thread would have just gone on and on.

I had Kangaroo once in Australia (in the ANA tower don't you know) - it tasted like stray dog that had spent a lifetime eating from the bins.

Really? I quite liked kangaroo. "Kanga bangas" were generally good.

I did have possum at some indigenous restaurant somewhere in western Sydney (Newtown?).

Indeed they do. That's a brand of Tasty.

I quite like a bit of Kangaroo. I used to get roo steaks from Tesco when I was a student because it would always end up discounted. It's good with Cumberland Sauce.

Interest only I note. How much would a repayment mortgage be?

Initially £647 based on the 3.1% of the interest only mortgage over 25 years . You would have paid off around 18k of capital by now.

Interestingly, £1366 per month on Chelsea's 10 year fixed rate. You would only have five years left to pay until the house was yours.

Looking at it another way, you would have paid £44,800 in rent (I know some people have).

What I cant understand is:

My investment house has risen over 100% in price. My mortgage is next to nothing now and I'm making money.

Why am I supposed to care about prices falling 0.4% in a year???????

Good question, why do you?

Why do people try to use one month's data and extrapolate as a prediction for the next year?

Trend. Akin to standing on a beach and watching the tide come in. Events can overtake before you realise.

No recent news that will influence and reverse the trend that I've read.

Monthly figures are just noise.

Just sayin'.
