House Price Rises – Not Wanted

A recent house price survey carried out by the BBC has heaped more pressure on landlords looking to maximise the potential from their properties.

As part of the BBC2 TV series The Truth About Property, over 1,000 people were surveyed regarding the state of the UK housing market and in particular, whether they wanted house prices to rise or fall in the near future.

‘No’ to House Price Rises

The survey showed that barely a fifth of people wanted house prices to go up, contrary to popular belief. Only 22% said they hoped for a rise, less than the 28% who were hoping for further falls.

Whilst the findings may cast doubt over the extent of the political and economic damage done by falling prices, landlords could face the prospect of selling their unwanted properties for less than they had hoped.

The poll was commissioned after makers of the TV programme discovered a surprisingly large number of people who wanted property prices to drop. Falling house prices may make it easier for first-time buyers and those looking to trade up to a larger property, but landlords who want to capitalise on their investments and sell houses quickly for the best possible price may be hit hardest.
