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.

Mine went up."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -

Are you sure this link shows the figures you hoped for, phlash?0 -
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.

it would be nice if they showed the period of the fall though0 -
