    Not selling unless I get a spectacular offer.

            i would of thought it would be worth more than that.

            mummy bless her bought a 4 bed detached for 36k 28 years ago and sold it for 900k last year ?

            sure your calc is right ?

                  £30k per year average profit on £36k investment? That's bloody good in anyones terms.

                  As to the quoted figures from Cybertw@ frankly I don't believe them for a milisecond.

                    I bought my first house in 1982 for 18k, it would now be "worth" £140,000.

                      There is no single housing market, and you can't apply the same adjustments to the entire UK housing stock.
                      Different property types, in different areas will rise/fall in value at different rates. The (various) reported averages are only useful if by chance they happen to exactly match your scenario.
                      At the moment, expect fewer property sales, as people refuse to sell for less than they perceive the worth of their property, i.e. people will stay put until they can get a price that they "think" the property is worth. Even if this is at the expense of missing out on buying a similarly reduced property.
