I think we're supposed to be celebrating the creation of a new house price index. The Hamish Mctavish First Time Buyer Index. Of course it will only be published if the index is positive.0 -

Do you not believe that 12% more FTBers is a positive message?:wall:

Sadly, some posters here liked to see the million potential FTB-s prevented from buying through mortgage rationing.
They thought this would give them the "next leg down".
They were wrong of course.
It just made rents soar to record highs instead.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
