    UK house price growth slows down: We're All Doomed

    House price inflation across the UK slowed slightly in the year to February, according to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM). The annual inflation rate was 3.6% in February, down from 4.3% in January.

    The ODPM survey, based on completed sales, found that the average house price actually fell between January and February from £185,404 to £183,224. House price inflation rose in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, but fell back a little in England.

    Still, never mind, eh. You're always at home when you've got your own Mark 3 travel machine (pat. pending).

    Best start shipping in more immigrants to prop up the market. Some more shared equity deals should help too.

    They should be alright if they invade Britain then. Gordo sold off Britain's gold reserves just as the market bottomed out.

      Only a complete idiot sells at the bottom of the market.

        Didn't someone sell his house in Islington at the bottom of the market when he moved into Downing Street?

          And then bought at the top of the market when buying his retirement pad.
