Debate House Prices


In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. 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.

Can someone merge the 5 threads about the Halifax figures....

    Hmmm, this is the second time you have created a thread asking for a merger. It only happens when it's about price falls.

    All this thread (the 6th one on the halifax figures, BTW) does is shows it's touched a nerve with you. There have been many identical threads in the past.

    One of the threads that are identical will drop off, as they always do. The other threads are about different things.

    I've never seen 5 threads about the same index showing price rises, or I'd ask for those to be merged too.

    No, they're all about the Halifax figures.

  • Some posters are getting a little too giddy over one months figures.

    No idea, but Hamish is foaming at the mouth. So would assume so.

    Technically yes.

    Technically all your rental / immigration / house prices are up threads are about the same thing too.

    But as you know, each is coming from a slightly different angle, therefore you post a new thread.

    Maybe you see it as a service to the forum. I don't think many others will see it in the same vein, rather I see it as you publically whinging you personally don't like so many threads talking about price falls. Even more so as you have done it in reference to price falls elsewhere (believe it was when rightmove fell quite a bit and you had a whinge then?).

    I've cross posted to the site feedback board which is probably the best place to put stuff like this.

    No problemo.

    Interesting to note that Mr Murray has become almost entirely British while we're waiting for the [STRIKE]moderators[/STRIKE] board guides to do their thing. He's currently just 1% short of full non-Scottishness!

    Compare with November 2009 where he became almost entirely Scottish:
