I thought house prices in Scotland fell 2.2% in the quarter! Is this another example of the BBC spinning housing market news?

There have been a number of links to news stating that prices in Scotland actually fell by 2.2% last quarter. Is this another example of blatant BBC spin?

The surge in house prices in Scotland over the last quarter as reported by Lloyds TSB is in stark contrast to the data published by Registers of Scotland which revealed that, "the average price for a residential property in Scotland decreased by 2.2 per cent in the last quarter (January to March 2007) to £139,836." http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=776932007
What's the story?

"In the three months to the end of April, it said the price of an average domestic property in Scotland rose by 6.8%. "
Now hold on, just a few days ago official figures were telling us that prices has dropped by 2.2% in Scotland over the same period. Someone is telling porkies! But then again, most of the information surrouding the property market has been based on falsehoods and blatant spin dished out by those with a vested interest in maintaining the credit based gravytrain. We really have hit a low when no one can believe any fact given to them by government or business - thanks Tony for the New Liebour legacy!
