This has become tiring. Every month price is either rising or falling - if you take few decimal points.
If I want to buy a house, it is always rising. If I want to sell a house, it is always falling. So can't win anyway.Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.0 -

We have a Tory led Government. What else did you expect?Mornië utulië0 -
How much of the price rises is down to natural market factors (like people having more money and being able to afford to pay a bit more) compared to the hype and people panic buying??
There seems to be a real bubble around us at the moment with bidding wars and houses going on their 'launch day' for over the asking price....it all feels very artificial and egged on by the media.Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0 -
The conservatives were never going to let house prices fall naturally.
If the bubble was to burst = zero chance of forming the next government in 2015
House price increases are always portrayed in a positive way on the news as almost an indicator that the economy is improving.
Looks like all those predicting a house price crash way be waiting a very long time. The government of the day will do anything to prevent it.0 -
Definitely going up in Greater London and the south east.0

Rising house prices help nobody, apart from people selling up altogether for some reason. Everyone else (the vast majority) is damaged by rising prices.
Just another piece of manipulation by this appallingly useless government to try to make people feel good and vote Conservative or Lib Dem.0 -

They'll have to do a darn sight better than an overinflated housing market! How many people are stupid enough to think that this mini boom is a good thing?Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0 -
