The housing market is splitting down the middle, with a scarcity of houses putting upward pressure on prices in the South of England, while difficult market conditions remain the key in feature in the north. While house prices across the England and Wales were flat for the third straight month in total, Hometrack reports ‘the emergence of a clear split in market conditions’ between the north and south.

Perhaps it's just northern common sense that's holding house prices down.
Never forget it's grim up here. Not!!

Last place to go up in price, first to go down. South will follow shortly.

I presume this myopic London centric rag means Northern England, as pricing in Scotland is stable.

They do actually refer to England in the first sentence.

the 1st sentence simply refers to "the North", which most ignorant Southern hacks use as catch all
