LAND REGISTRY data finally shows FALLS in House Prices

The most accurate measure of house prices, the land registry, measures its house prices by the SOLD prices. Their data is therefore often six months delayed. These latest figures are telling us what happened 3-6 months ago! Who knows what is going on now, hold on tight! (Remember there have been two more rate rises since then, and another one at least to come)

Mine is down 2.9% in ONE QUARTER! Oh dear.

A correction may well have already started.

    0.5% UP in last quarter
    & 8% in the last year

    takes CROYDON as a whole, but in SOUTH CROYDON i'm confident it's more :)

    just checked my building where 2 flats are up for sale 1 up for £210k & 1 up for £220k, i bought mine in July last year for £167k ;) and mines bigger but not as nicely decorated inside.

    so roll on this "correction" ;)

    why's it good that house prices are rising in your area? Are you about to trade down? Surely if you plan to trade up anytime in the future it's bad, or if you're hoping to get on the ladder, then it's also bad.

    The only people who do well out of HPI are Gordon, multiple property owners & people trading down - everyone else is a LOSER.

    down -7.3% but yearly up 10.1%, i wonder if the 10.1% includes the drop cause i dont think prices have gone up 17.4%

    it would be nice if they showed the period of the fall though

    it's like the old saying
    global warming will add on an extra 1 or 2 degrees, so where's my 4 x 4 ;)

    well if this correction is adding on 10% per year, bring on the correction! lol
