zilly Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Massively siginifcant given that this is 'peak season'. What's going o be interesting is when the hoards of amateur speculators - sorry, 'investors' - who should never have been given BTL mortgage finance in the first place (ie about 75% of them because in reality they don't have two pennies to rub together) panic over negative equity and rush for the exits...to find there's no-one to buy their 'investments' off them. Time at that point to renegotiate rent - downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rantnrave Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 You can always rely on the BBC to avoid the elephant in the room House price growth slows further House price growth slowed in the three months to April, according to Halifax bank. It found prices were 2.2% higher than a year earlier, down from the 2.7% annual growth recorded in March. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, prices were 0.1% lower than in the preceding three months - the third consecutive decline by this measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered that. Looks like they're doing the percentages off the Index, rather than the Standardised Average Price.  Volumes down, prices down, interest rate rises on the horizon. Wonder what rabbit they'll pull out of the hat next.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinessex Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I've seen too many false dawns over the last couple of years to get too excited by a single month's falls - but it's better than a rise and looking at last year's figurtes we'd only need a couple more months of slight falls or even stagnant data for the YoY figure to go negative and if that happens we might start to see some headlines / sentiment starting to shift.
