    Yes, in danger.

    As suggested by chucknorris first in case you didn't notice.

    If the average in 2007 was 4.1% , and the average in 2013 is 2.9%.

    Then the trend is downwards, by 1.2% in 6 years already.

    Doesn't support any argument in the next 20 years that there's a capacity for a "price boom". Given the unresolved issues that no one is currently talking about.

    Hmmm. I'm not convinced that taking a single point in 2007 and joining to another point in 2013 is really the best way to demonstrate a trend - what about the points inbetween? Don't they also influence the trend?

    The trend in real terms since 2007 is clearly downwards but the longer term trend since 1975 has incorporated plenty of ups and downs.

    Personally, I don't think there's that much capacity for a price boom. Not because of 'unresolved issues' but because I think/ hope that there will be a supply response. However, I see no problem with extrapolating the Nationwide graph and offering some reasons why this is valid - not many arguments against it so far.

    What on earth are you going on about now. Do I really need to explain this for you? Ok then, ukcarper said above that you only made snide remarks, you then made a snide remark, which proved him right. Got it now?

    I'll tell you what make a post that puts forward a constructive argument back with facts and I will be happy to be proved wrong.
