    Of course their must be a UK average - to keep up the UK obsession. What a pity we can't be more like Germany.

    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.
    How are houses in Darras Hall doing? That's north of Newcastle isn't it?

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

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

    Save now buy in central London while you still can.

    That's been converted to a curry house.
