  1. http://www.nationwide.co.uk/hpi/historical/Aug_2007.pdf

    note this is seasonaly adjusted figure to give 0.6 MoM

    non seasonaly adjusted the av price fell from 184270 - 183898 = 372 fall = -0.2 MoM

    from report

    1 Actual average house prices are lower even though the monthly index shows a rise because of seasonal adjustment. It

    reflects that prices in August did not fall as much as we would have expected them to given the seasonal pattern in prices.

    so there you have it

  2. Oh no, now I'm worried.

    Should I calculate my yield using the 'present value' of £90,000 or using the purchase price of £15,500. With the former, my yield is a paltry 4.5%. With the latter it is a more respectable 33%.

    *** Biting my nails worrying what my yield is ***

    However, if my BTL is owned outright I hope it will provide the equivalent of a week's pay when I retire. I just need to know what my yield is. I didn't even know that I had one till today!

    :)

    this is what we are up against comrades

  3. Surely that volume data is MASSIVELY significant.

    The properties sold at the lower end (i.e. 200k or less) ALL show a massive decrease in volume, even in London.

    What does this mean?

    Easy: prices are rising on the back of relatively small volumes of high value property.

    The rest of the market is about to go into free-fall.

    maybe there arnt any properties left in this price bracket because theyve gone up so much?

  4. No these figures relate to completions notified to LR in July

    Apparently 70% are notified within 1 month of completion, 90% within 2 months 95% within 3 months and after that it is statistically irrelevant.

    exactly "from completion" is the key - it takes 2/3 months from someone walking through the door with the EA to actually getting the keys in their hands

    add yor figures on to this date and you are looking at properties that were "sale agreed" stc in april/may (4 month lag)

    nationwide should provide a better up to date indication (2 month lag) out tommorrow at 0700

  5. 1 hour 15 minutes to go. 6 negative--4 positive?

    RB this thread is for tommorrows nationwide which i believe are more widely reported in the sheeple media - having said that i am licking my lips at the land reg figs as they are the most reliable though i believe they have more lag than nationwide and will therefore be later to turn - fingers crossed though.

  6. http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/articlenew...XML&src=rss

    The number of mortgages approved for home purchase in Britain fell 0.7 percent in July from a year earlier to 66,965, the British Bankers' Association said on Tuesday, in a sign the housing market may be coming off the boil.

    But the BBA said the value of mortgage approvals rose 12 percent on the same month last year and left last month's rise in net underlying mortgage lending unrevised at a robust 5.7 billion pounds

    not much of a collapse yet - but a start

  7. There’s a lot of new building going on in Bradley Stoke, North Bristol at the moment. All the properties on one development I’m watching sold pretty quick about 18-12 months ago. Things are getting interesting now as they start to be sold again.

    This house:

    http://www.teamprop.co.uk/prop.asp?pref=AW...||0||1|BS32||10

    Has just gone on the market for £279.950.

    It was originally bought on the 17th Feb 2006 for £290,000. If it goes for asking that’s a nominal fall of 3.5% in 18 months. If it only goes for 95% of asking (£265,952) that’s a fall of 8.3% and getting dangerously close to the stamp duty threshold.

    Looking the in windows, the place has been vacated already.

    v vulnerable to a 250k cash buyer i would say
