PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

    If they actually showed lower transactions you would have had them posted up weeks ago It is tragic that you have to be dragged screaming and kicking to admit that the property market is running on vapours

    Sigh...

    1991 saw 1.2 million residential transactions
    2001 saw 1.3 million residential transactions
    2011 saw 0.9 million residential transactions

    then we move on to recent figures...

    2013 saw 1.0 million residential transactions
    2014 saw 1.2 million residential transactions
    2015 saw 1.2 million residential transactions
    2016 saw 1.2 million residential transactions
    2017 saw 1.2 million residential transactions

    All figures are official stats from HMRC.

    Please explain how those figures show the property market is running on vapours? ;)
