Anyone else notice the link on the page to http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/actionnetwork/C2462
“The quality of a person’s housing can have a profound impact on their life. It can affect their security, their health and wellbeing. Some people simply cannot afford decent housing.”
Is the BBC finally catching up?
inbreda says:
Surely this implies that either May05 was an exceptionally good month, or that June06 saw house price falls?

Like Prescott (who no longer has charge of this brief), this data is out of date, boring, of little relevance, and a waste of public money.

I’d say the whole of the BBC was out of date, boring, of little relevance, and a waste of money!
I certainly ignore license fee “requests”.

Yes, what is the point of the goverment surveying the cost of houses when there is already more that enough data out there to give a decent picture? Especially when they say house prices have no bearing on interest rate rises?

I hope that you notivce the subtle change in tone from the BBC
“house price inflation”. For the first time I have seen the BBC use the word INFLATION with respect to house prices. In the past it has been always a positive thing. The use of the “I” word means that there is a sea change going on.
Talking about a “crash” is now fashionable – I think the website will get a few more visits now
Lets see how long it lasts

It’s a trait of human beings that they live in the present. People will deny that a HPC is possible until it is upon them. Another rise in IR could create a very different market sentiment, and one unimaginable for most people at present. Global liquidity tightening has only just begun in earnest. In response to this tightening we might see a few tumbles in the City.
