The normal state magnetisation of iron pnctides exhibits a universal increase upon heating. In LaFeAsO1−xFx, both the slope and the absolute value of the susceptibility at elevated temperatures are independent on doping, irrespectively whether long range antiferromagnetic order or the non-magnetic superconducting ground state appears. Our data on LiFeAs, NaFeAs, Ba- and Ca(Fe1−xCox)2As2 single crystals imply the generic nature of this feature. Remarkably, there is quantitative agreement of the slope well above the ground states. We present a scenario of robust local antiferromagnetic correlations persisting even in the superconducting regime of the phase diagram. In addition, we present the phase diagrams based on our specific heat, thermal expansion, µSR, magnetisation and resistivity data. In particular, our data allow to assessing the size of renormalisation effects and we discuss the particular case of LiFeAs.
