    I can't find my crystal ball, but on average I think somewhere between +4 % and +7%. Go on HPC if you want someone to tell you -50% before Christmas.

    My prediction is that 2 bed terraced houses in some third rate part of London somewhere near Wood Green tube will increase by 79% by next Tuesday but everything else will crash.

    London looks toppy with much of the rest of the country fully priced.

    Prediction? Boom time. I expect HPI to be well above 10% in a year.
