    According to zoopla, my area has gone up 12% in the last year.

    Not sure what that means as I'm not selling. My kids can be impressed if they want.

    if people have made all this money, why are the retailers struggling this xmas?

    is it because only renters buy things in shops?

    Because they all have to pay rent.

    I spend what I want to spend, rather than how much I happen to have at that particular moment.

    zoopla website: top banner, drop down on "house prices" pick top one - "house prices and values". Screen opens with market value, default is "last 12 months" and "all properties". Below that it shows the percentage increase.

    If you then change the search bar to your exact post code, it shows each house in the post code with an estimated value for each property that has been sold since 1995. For any not sold since then it hasn't a base line to calculate from.

    Mine's 5.43% according to that zoopla page.

    The figure I stated above is what Zoopla said my house is worth today, at the actual property level page .... -v- ..... the figure it said it was worth exactly one year ago. I started keeping a note of the value as per Zoopla when I first put an offer in for this house and then just kept doing it, so I've got the actual figures Zoopla said.... although their figure last year was about £20k less than I paid.

    I paid more for my house than any house sold since.... the most ever. I'd hate to look like I couldn't afford to pay the highest price though .... after all, higher house prices are good, right?
