I have been thinking about selling the index as a hedge against my property assets, but I have just realised there is a big risk in spread betting house prices if we are going to high levels of inflation?

The indexes go forward for up to 12 months.

Any comments?

Looking at the figures,the March sell is 152,900.

This is 5% less than the current price of 160,395.

If Halifax price is already lower than the Nationwide and
the Land Registry when compared to the relative all time highs.

I believe high inflation would cause house prices to fall faster
because wages are unlikely to keep pace and intrest rates are
more likely to increase.

I also believe that the max bet on the index is £250.

Thanks.  I had no idea the max bet would be so low.  I verified this with them and they say it is because they can't hedge it.
