How many house sales make a survey ?

This week out came another one suggesting that prices are on the up again, especially in the £10m plus market.

Guess how many £1m plus homes are sold each month? To find out go to the Land Registry site.

This week they produced a report of their own which shows that just 106 homes were sold for more than £1m in March 2009 - and only 37 of them were over £2m.

How many £10m homes were sold? Who knows; but it can't be more than the number of fingers on one hand. Is that really enough on which to base the results of a survey?
