    They've been looking for mugs for the last few years, those houses don't sell quickly here

    If the house price had dropped dramatically after the crash, then it should be increasing in value a lot more than 6% this year

    We were lucky to buy near the bottom of the market, and from people we knew were desperate to sell

    So like my property which increased in value by about 35% in the nine months we've owned, it doesn't mean that is happening across the UK

    It depends on the local area, and the relative value of the house to others in the area

    Got the best kind of prove - anecdotal: a few houses I am tracking did not change the price over last few years, in fact most of them did not sell at all, the price was around £2 mln and still is now.

    That's their projection for all of 2015, Halifax are showing a 9% increase on this time last year.

    Since I'm benched currently, our house is likely to earn more than I will this year

    I'm glad this govt is doing everything to support "hardworking houses".
