    And the fact is I appear to have "made" between £20K to £25K in less than a day. Supoib.


    We've been through the realities Columbo.
    I'm just surprised (and delighted) that you feel the need to do it again and again and again.

    Lets face it, you're the dummy spitter. My response to your OP was apposite.

    Your was the embittered tired rehashed thrashings of someone with nothing left in the basket of tricks. ;)

    With stamp duty holiday finishing soon I would expect approvals to rise in the short term. What happens after then will be the interesting bit.

    Approvals need to reach 75k + consistently to show any kind of health in the housing market .

    Why?

    The market is changing, indeed it has and therefore historical transaction levels are not an indicator of how the current market is working.

    It's quite possible that due to lending requirements, increase in population etc that owners are staying in the same property for longer and this will affect the transactions levels.

    It would also mean that supply is reduced leading to less options for any buyers.

    I'm yet to be convinced that transaction levels affect house price.

    Cerainly the ration between supply and demand will affect it.

    Still nice deflection Light.

    Hmmm, so your reply to my comment on your attempt at deflecting from the data with different stats from a different period results in you implying I am trying to deflect the issue.

    this forum certainly gets more playground every day.
