Just how reliable are house price statistics if this is happening?
The Times: Buyers can benefit from a flagging market
The title is pretty obvious but the implications for house price statistics are intriguing.
"The deal saved her just over £2,000, but North was also able to negotiate a private parking space that would normally have cost her £8,000."
"At the Embankment development in Gravesend, Kent, the developer is offering a mortgage subsidy of £1,000 a month for two years on a £205,000 two-bedroom flat and £750 a month on a £172,5000 one-bed."
I wonder how often this happens now? If it's a common thing, then the house price statistics we're being fed are false.
