    Good to see that my prediction of London house price rises of 5-8% for 2012 is looking relatively conservative now.

    Really? It's just that nationwide say that London has performed as following during 2012:

    Q1 -0.7%
    Q2 +1%
    Q3 -0.4%

    I'd say that your prediction of 5-8% looks like it is going to be completely wrong, at least on the evidence of the Nationwide reports...

    It wasn't just London though, was it. You've changed it to that, to suit.

    Well it doesn't really suit does it, given that London is +0% for the year to date!

    Not according to the Halifax.;)
  • Houses will always go up over time - it's what they do
  • Houses will always go up over time - it's what they do

    And in the meantime, they pay you a whopping great yield for owning them. (Either realised or imputed)
