    The money's in good old Merthr Tydvil.

    21% HPI in a year! Sweet.

    Bet they can't get anything done for thrusting!

    Is Merthr Tydvil in London? ;)
    I thought it was London proping up the prices.

    Believe me when I say Merthyr Tydfil will be doing little to prop up prices. :)

    They aren't increasing more slowly than my wage inflation.

    I'm not sure what kind of smiley to use for that.

    Presumably this is not a financial disaster for you as the amount you paid for the house you live in is presumably inflating at 0% per year.

    I wouldn't think so either, certainly not to any significant factor.
    As one of the supermarket states "Every Little Helps"

    Some on here however believe that it's ONLY London that is propping up prices

    No I accept the South East and Aberdeen also are significant factors.

    Again that's not true. There a few other parts of the country with increased prices. South East and Aberdeen aren't supporting higher prices in Devon.

    Already told shorty, but he's just a bit slow.

    All regions except North-West and Yorkshire & Humber showed rising prices in 2012, LR data.

    That "London/South East is skewing the numbers" mantra has been shown to be another discredited bear meme.

    I think it's time for a thrust now.

    You'll be surprised that there are many other ares which show peak prices in 2012.
    Just looking at the ROSEA, the following areas have average increases in 2012, higher than previous peaks: -

    Aberdeen City
    Aberdeenshire
    Orkney Islands
    Perth and Kinross
    Scottish Borders
    Shetland Islands
    Stirling
    West Dumbartonshire
    West Lothian
    All Scotland
