House prices rise by 0.1%
11:05pm Thursday 27th December 2007
Comments (58)HOUSE prices in Bolton have risen by just 0.1 per cent in the last 12 months according to Land Registry figures.
The average price of a house is now £140,587.
A detatched costs £263,818 while the avergae price for a semi and terrace is £141,430 and £104,826 respectively.
One of the reasons for the lower than expected increase in value is said to be successive interest rate increases imposed by the Bank of England.

0.1% is not statistically significant and hence the real picture could be much worse or much better. what it does tell you is that the unsustainable rise in house prices has pretty much stalled.
In the US, house price reductions are quite common, except in well-heeled Connecticut. BUT: America has lots of housing supply whereas the UK has limited supply.
Don't believe everything you read in the press.

I predict another overall rise in house prices this time next year. Mortgage rates will go down, house prices will go up, dont listen to the negative hype.

BWFC - I know you're an estate agent and I remember destroying you on this very subject some time ago.
No economy can be indefinately sustained on speculation. Britain as a country, produces nothing and offers no services, which other countries cannot provide for themselves at a cheaper price.
The British economy of the past 20 years has survived by selling off assets and borrowing when there was nothing more to sell.
The cupboard is now bare and knuckles and crusher are on the way up the garden path. What will you do? run or take the punishment. I think we both know your answer to that question, don't we.
I had the offer of a job as an estate agent, but didn't want to take the step down from gong farmer.

That's quite an achievement when you consider that I didn't make a single comment on that thread.
No, I'm afraid it's you and your ilk who seized upon Dons inappropriate and out of place comments and wouldn't let it go.
Like I said, considering the fuss the PC brigade kicked up last week about leaving the thread about the death of the asian guy, as a condolence thread. It's a pity you couldn't afford this poor guy the same respect, but then he was white.

The UK and its "dangerously unbalanced economy" is going down the pan
The average UK house price has risen by 187% to £179k since 1996, encouraging the speculators. FTBs are priced out of market in over 90% of towns. This is madness. Average wage btw < £24k. The supply argument is a complete myth. There is plenty of property (much if it empty) check out estate agents windows.
The problem is affordability, a result of cheap easy credit creating insane levels of house price inflation - and for most people an illusion of wealth (an asset is only worth something when you sell it).
This country is so **** obsessed with house prices, we have completely forgotten about anything that creates real wealth making things to sell. As a nation what do we do? We sell over-priced houses to each other and go shopping with our credit cards. Huge debt underwritten by ludicrous house prices.
Anyway, the party is over house prices are coming down (thankfully) being up to 40% over-valued, the tightening of credit means that already 50% less mortgages are being approved. Try getting an interest only mortgage! Worse to come, 1.4m people will have to refinance in 2008 (and wont get the same deal), huge increases in personal bankruptcies are forecast, the cost of living is increasing.
Its a mess Down to greed and political mis-management of the highest order. This debt binge is and has been completely unsustainable (individual and Govt). Whilst some will continue to bury their heads in the sand, for others reality is dawning. Public sentiment has changed, and in spite of likely interest cuts, house prices will continue to fall in 2008. BTW cutting interest rates will and is weakening the pound for the UK, a net importer, inflation will surge (real inflation not the fiddled figure). Watch the price of petrol head upwards (£1.20/litre?).
This is only the beginning. 2008 is going to be tough. And a long overdue reality check.

I have two families and divide my time equally between the two, but prefer to spend weekends with one of my eight mistresses. I eat out three times a day and buy a new car when the petrol gets low on the old one. I live in luxury hotels and wear only the finest suits made entirely from gold.Sun Tzu wrote:doubtful.... he drives a DB9BWFC - TIL - I - DIE wrote:I'm sure the neighbors are impressed.Sun Tzu wrote:yes there is more to life ... that is why i get 4 holidays a year,(lapland already booked and paid for, for next xmas as is disney world for july)spend plenty of good quality time with my family every weekend, socialise pretty well, restaraunts twice a week, and a new car every 2 years. ive pretty much got everything i want in life... you?BWFC - TIL - I - DIE wrote: VERY GOOD POST ED....

Domestic property prices are overvalued by a figure of approaching 50% in the UK.
The inflated price has been driven by greedy agents and the buy to let parasites, leaving the young, not in a financial position to step onto the ladder and even more so now, the agents / financial advisor's can not offer 8 times + salary.
For Andrew (you'll love this) Unmanaged immigration has also contributed and that's all I'll say on this point for fear of being branded racist by the Holy Trinity. If there's a fear of free speech, the makes you three nothing less than farm yard bullies, though I wouldn't expect the HT to understand this fact.
Any drop in interest rate will for many be meaningless and the reason, they're over burdened all ready. I don't have the exact figure here but, the number of people in arrears (3 months+) is steadily climbing.
Drops in rates will be seized upon by the leech agents who will value property accordingly in proportion to any drop. That valuation will be UP.
2008 will bring a record number of IVA's and bankruptcy, predicted already at 140,000.Along with repossessions approaching levels of the late 80's early 90's.
The great Gordon Brown, chief architect of selling England by the pound (apologies to Peter Gabriel) has only this weekend announced it's going to be a rough ride. What that means is anybody's guess but I assure you it wont be pleasant.
It seems to me, many of you are still blinkered and refuse to accept you've all been stuffed rigid.
Sun, I have always respected your points on the economy, you are one of the few with foresight.
Ed, I think you'll find, in the N.W. the figure of £24K is ambitious but the rest of your comments are quite correct.
BWFC, if as claimed your a director, then sorry son, we should all be afraid. Especially after your foul mouthed rants I've witnessed and poor command of the written word.

Gaffer - Well said, and nice to have you on board mate.
This past year, I have been shocked by the constant stream of economists and people in the know, who are willing to publicly tell lies in order to support what can only be described as a state sanctioned pyramid scheme or the British economy as these crooks like to call it.
It doesent take a degree in economics to explain, that living solely of borrowed earnings is not sustainable, but I suspect it does require an economics degree to convince people to the contray.
Our country has been sold down the river by shysters, and I believe recession will be a price worth paying to be rid of them.

Eloquently put Sun, however, you'll need to decipher so some can understand the point your trying to get across.
Pyramids, borrowings, please God take pity for they no not..!
Shysters is too good a description. Conjurers ,tricksters and fraudsters all controlled from a central office where everybody is a shadow, all smoke and mirrors.
But, the people (man on the street) thinks..he's doing well buying a car over 10 years !

I forgot to mention. With a 0.1% rise, if you have cash tied up in property, you've actually lost money.
I expect many to dispute the LR figures but, it's probably the only reliable Government Source as a pointer to the state of the economy.You just need to work out what the figures mean.

Can't explain it to Joe Sixpack and not really much point now, as the damage is done.
All will become clear when Crusher and Lowblow arrive on his doorstep with the possession notice.

Well thank god for Morrisons doing 24 carling for £10 or whatever it is. At least through the alcoholic haze, there's Disney and Lapland to look forward to. Ahh, what it is to be a chav with 16 staff and a new car every two years.

Could it be that they were telling us porkies in order to keep their gravy train rolling a little longer?
