nicebuyer Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) Apparently a 0.7% monthly gain and 1.7% yearly gain. To make matters worse only a -0.6% drop in prices nationwide. Can't be right can it? http://www.findaproperty.com/displaystory....p;storyid=22472 Edited August 29, 2008 by nicebuyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the end is a bit nigher Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Apparently a 0.7% monthly gain and 1.7% yearly gain. To make matters worse only a -0.6% drop in prices nationwide. Can't be right can it? http://www.findaproperty.com/displaystory....p;storyid=22472 We've done this. Month's out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicebuyer Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Oh sorry, just a quick update then, are we agreed that the LR is correct and house prices in London are on the increase or is the LR wrong and need we be wary of figures they produce?

Elizabeth Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Oh sorry, just a quick update then, are we agreed that the LR is correct and house prices in London are on the increase or is the LR wrong and need we be wary of figures they produce? There is no real consensus. It depends how they compare with a range of different sources over time. Anyway since it is a month out of date and most figures lag a bit... what is their collection process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realistbear Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 The LR data is much like the light from a distant star. What you see in the data happened long long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is right - and such beautiful imagery for a saturday morning RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Liebenstein Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 The LR data is much like the light from a distant star. What you see in the data happened long long ago. Nice analogy! You put a smile on my face this morning And as we pointed out before, not only is it lagging, but part of the reason for the lag is that it only reflects done deals, which at the early stages of the crash were on the better quality homes and so on average a bit more expensive. Sales now going through are starting to happen at deeper discounts, so I expect the land registry to have to play of bit of sudden catch up - a bit like the fat kid on the school run, at the back at all times, but occasions a quick 50 metre burst to catch everyone one up before falling right back again.

BTB Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 If I use my recent sale as an example, I would say that the LR figures lag the Haliwide figures by 5-6 months. The way I see it is that the Haliwide figures are based on the valuation which in most cases happens quite early in the sale. The LR figures come out after the solicitor has registered the sale and this is 2-3 months after completion. My sale as an example: Offer accepted Mid March Valuation end of March Completion end of May LR figure available, about now although I can't find it yet.
