    Anyone seen sarkin, Doctor Gloom, Brit1234 and Henry P Chester?

    They all posted on the first page of last month's thread, I'm a bit concerned that something terrible might have happened to them.

    they'll probably be back next month ;)

    Totally agree, EVERYONE has a VI.

    Its Hobsobs Choice with shared ownership though. Prices go down and the unowned bit supposedly gets cheaper however you get proportionally poorer as your equity drains away, and the rent is never going to go any way other than up.

    does anyone think this thread has been played down by MSE... since they merged the threads!

    The halifax HPI -3.6% went to 35 pages

    since this one was changed to MSE news, house prices climbed in October, says latest report... it has been pretty much dumbed down.

    here it is and your right you did use it in a way to factor / cover why you thought prices would rise.

    I remembered you saying it but must admit I don't have a 100% photographc memory, hence why I said "I thought" and had loads of question marks to show my uncertanty "??????????"

    Thank You :)

    Oh dear. It looks like the celebrations might have been a bit premature.

    "The lender, part of the Lloyds Banking Group, said that the less volatile three-month on three-month comparison showed property values dropped by 1.2%."

    Chin up lads. It's good to see you putting a brave face on it though. :T

    Won't be much good for you though, of course, being a citizen of London.

    No problem.
    I take it you can see from my explanation I wasn't trying to twist to the absolute extreme.

    There does seem to be a shortage of those people that posted in the -3.6% thread. I wonder if they all went out and bought a house after that.

    34 of them are some lonely individual bumping it though.
