    The nonsense of "average house prices"

    http://www.landreg.gov.uk/upload/doc...11_ws13pm4.pdf

    Thought I'd have a quick look at the last Land Registry report on house prices.

    Boomed!

    City of Westminster up 7.1% over the last 12 months.
    Windsor and Maidenhead Up nearly 3% over the last 12 months.
    Poole up 3% over the last 12 months.

    Doomed!

    Hartlepool down nearly 20% in 12 months.
    Oldham down nearly 14% in 12 months.

    etc.


    So it seems the nicest bits of southern England are completely recession proof and northern tulipeholes are well, northern tulipeholes and are going down the pan.


    Average figures for the UK is a nonsense.

      Birmingham falls into the northern tulipeholes category.

      Good news for you. In a couple of years you'll be buying a bedsit for £50K***

        Birmingham is right in the middle.

        Here is a decent house near where I live:

                It'll cost you that for a season ticket on HS2 when it's finished.
