Jun 15, 2010, House price inflation is 10% says the Government
House price figures need careful interpretation.
New figures from the Departmentof Communities and Local Government suggests prices were just a tad over 10% higher in April than a year ago.
The question we should all be asking ourselves is..is this sustainable this year?
Figures to April are likley to have been influenced by the relatively few properties on the market compared to buyers.
Figures also released by the Council of Mortgage Lenders supports the view, as the number of mortgage loans granted fell 9% in April.
Even more worrying. The percentage of loans made to first time buyers was just 35% of the total - the lowest figure since September 2007.
So fewer loans, higher prices, more properties coming onto the market say the surveyors ...taken together it's likely to lead to pressure on prices later this year. How much depends on the economic news, Budget etc.

Jun 15, 2010, Sales in Scotland still require a Home Report
For the avoidance of doubt. Home Information Packs (HIPs) have been abolished for England and Wales. However in Scotland, advertised properties still require a Home Report bought by the seller.
Jun 15, 2010, Does the abolition of HIPS boost sales?
More homes are being put up for sale in England and Wales because of the abolition of Home Information Packs (Hips), the latest survey from the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors suggests.
We don't think this is the complete picture, since sellers confidence has been boosted by rising prices.
The survey also suggests that surveyors believe sales will pick up over the coming months.
Again we don't see this is obvious at all since sellers will out number buyers.
However they do acknowledge that prices will flatten as a result of changes to the supply/demand relationship.
Much much more likely to impact sales is the economic backdrop...of which we'll know more later this month.

Jun 8, 2010, House Price Falls More Likely?
With the Halifax and Nationwide releasing conflicting pictures of the UK housing market last week, homeowners could be forgiven for feeling confused.
Earlier in the year we suggested there was a window for selling of a few months before sellers began to outstrip buyers again.
It's looking likely that this window has now passed. Buyer confidence will wain as the country takes a collective intake of breath as we await announcement of public spending cuts.
Of course, no matter how bleak the economic news gets, people do still have to move but recent price rises, for many, are likely to prove only short term.

Jun 3, 2010, Prices are still rising say the Nationwide
House prices are still rising, according to the latest monthly survey from the Nationwide building society. Prices went up by another 0.5% in May.
HOWEVER, prices seem to be supported by the relative scarcity of available properties.
Should a disproportionate number of additional homes come onto the market prices may well slow down.
The market may also react to the new Government's Budget due soon. This will be an important factor in guiding sentiment along with updated economic news.

May 24, 2010, Is Suspending Home Information Packs A good Thing
Home Information Packs were suspended last week by the new Government. The moved seemed to be largely welcomed by all but the HIP industry. EPCs continue to be required.
Searches can cause delays in a sale. By reverting to the old system the delays are faced by the buyer rather than the seller.
With levels of transactions low, it would make more sense to learn from the Scottish system - where a Home Report includes a survey.
With transactions volumes low, it can be hard to get consistent figures for survey valuations.
The current system only benefits lenders, brokers and surveyors - not buyers.

May 11, 2010, Surveyors Say Housing Market Is Picking Up
According to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors prices are falling or rising - depending on where you live.
However the market as a whole is benefiting from its usual spring pick up.
More worrying is that the number of properties coming onto the market is outstripping new enquiries from buyers, possibly pointing to a slow down later on in the year.
