    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)

    Check your area!

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

    A correction may well have already started.

    and the award for most ill thought out argument goes to.....


    so it's a bit of a localised correction

    (a surprising 5.9% quarter 15.1% annual rise in our patch, which is surprising as teh rpices I've noted have been fairly flat over the last 12 months or so)

    Sorry mate, but overpriced property in Yorkshire has no bearing on London prices. Prices are still increasing strongly in my part of West London. With the boost from Polish immigrants, the London Olympics and Heathrow's Terminal 5, property will continue to increase strongly over the next five years.

    It is about time that the North-South divide in property prices widened to its normal historic level.

    By any stretch of the imagination, no one can say that House prices aren't continuing their upward climb. However, as a Nation with huge personal debt and increasing Interest rates (swaps are now indicating they might go higher than 6% early next year) it's a question of if, not when, the bubble bursts.

    yep we all know that trev (well most i'm sure)

    I can't believe that the flats (sorry "apartments") in my building have increased by so much.

    when my fixed period is up in another 13 months, i will probably look to sell anyway and rent, so for the forseeable i hope they continue to go up up up!

    Some are obviously missing the point, there are plenty of places showing negative QoQ. That was before the latest 2 interest rate rises, so wait for these figures in 6 months time. They are the best indication of what is happening, falls always start somewhere, and finish somewhere else. (but don't worry bulls, put on your ear muffs, blindfolds, and nose pegs, you'll be safe then!)
    For those that think that 10% YoY house price growth is healthy, then you obviously have little common sense, it is clearly not. It will harvest a generation of resentful, bitter people, unwilling to pay your pension.

    But where will the money come from to sustain these rises you say will continue?

    2 bed flats in even the less prestigious areas in West London are costing upwards of £350K. So if a couple of Polish immigrants want to buy one they will need to be earning at least about £40K each? Do you know many immigrants on those salaries?
