Advice Needed - New Build Sound Regulation Rules
General Zhukov replied to NW11's topic in House prices and the economy
I looked at the sound regulations several years ago.

Halifax -2.0% Mom
General Zhukov replied to Joey Buttafueco Jr's topic in House prices and the economy
Halifax and Caroline Flint talk so much BS its unreal. 1990's - Decline in UK house prices from peak to bottom using Halifax figures = 11.75% (decline started Q3 1989 finished Q4 1992) 2007's - Decline in UK house prices from peak to current date using Halifax figures = 9.64% (decline started Sep 2007) In the 90's it took 3 years to fall 11.75%. We are nearly at that level in less than 12 months. -
