  • And last week Nationwide said there was an increase!
  • Prices falling for two consecutive months? I wouldn't sound the alarm bells yet. If you do the maths it's still an insignificant figure. I always used to accuse the Halifax of talking the market up but they seem to have switched sides with the Nationwide.

    I'm more concerned about mortgage fees rising by 70% which is absolutely shocking. I know banks and building societies have to get money from somewhere but if it's reduced levels of demand making them put up fees I'd suggest that's counterintuitive.
