Latest market indicators

House price cuts on the way?ALTHOUGH Britain's largest lender, Halifax, believes there is "some support" for house prices at current levels, the latest monthly house price indexes have aroused fears that prices could be considerably lower than today by the end of 2012. The Halifax index says a fall in prices in April of 1.4 per cent ensured a fall for the quarter of 1.2 per cent, compared with the previous quarter. The current average house price of 160,395 compares with the low of 154,663 recorded in April 2009. At the peak of the market, in August 2007, Halifax says prices averaged 199,612, so the average house price has fallen by 20 per cent since then. In depressed areas, falls are considerably greater. Nationwide BS recorded a 0.2 per cent fall during April to an average 165,609. In April 2010, its average was 167,802. From agents' viewpoint, the monthly survey from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) confirms a "downbeat picture" for house prices - some 21 per cent more surveyors reported price falls rather than rises in April, but 18 per cent more saw a rise in new instructions than a fall. Halifax housing economist Martin Ellis says: "Signs of a modest tightening in housing market conditions, a relatively low burden of servicing mortgage debt and an increase in the number of people in employment all provide support for house prices, curbing the pace of decline. "There are signs that house sales are stabilising, albeit at a level lower than the historical average." However, other market commentators are telling vendors with homes already on the market to think carefully about any offers they receive, or otherwise accept that they are unlikely to move for months. Nick Hopkinson, director of PPR Estates, says: "Besides the recent estate agent surveys, even lending banks are tacitly admitting "We expect house prices to fall five per cent in 2011, and to continue falling in 2012." At London agent Marsh and Parsons, chief executive Peter Rollings says: "The Halifax figures show the housing market is in a precarious position, as the ongoing squeeze on mortgage finance takes its toll. "But national house prices certainly won't drop like a stone throughout the year. Underlying demand from the thousands of would-be buyers, combined with a severe shortage of properties for sale, should support them. "However, until first-time buyers get the financial support they need from lenders to get onto the property ladder, activity - the true barometer of a healthy market - won't rocket up. Earlier this month, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research predicted house prices could fall in real terms for the next five years. It thinks prices will lose about five per cent this year, and stay flat in 2012.

we now have a buyer's market which is setting house prices. "This latest data from leading lenders confirms how shaky buyer confidence currently is in future house prices. "A recent slight drop in unemployment will be little comfort to households facing ballooning inflation, austerity cuts and tax rises. "Anyone needing to sell their property in 2011 must

accept prices are on the way down now. Competent agents will advise clients to cut prices fast if they really need to sell. "If sellers don't move quickly at a realistic price they should accept that they probably will not be moving house for at least another year, possibly much longer. " At Capital Economics consultancy, chief property economist Ed Stansfield

says: "For only the third time in a year, the newly agreed sales balance in April was in positive territory. "But with little evidence that mortgage market conditions are easing, and with consumer confidence squeezed by uncertainty and the growing squeeze on household incomes, downward pressures on house prices are likely to build as the year progresses.

Three-storey town villa

Customer rating for retirement developerMCCARTHY and Stone, the UK market leader in retirement living with developments across Herefordshire, has been awarded a double five-star rating for customer satisfaction for an unparalleled sixth year running in an independent survey by the Home Builders Federation (HBF). The nationwide HBF customer satisfaction survey is sent to purchasers of new homes eight weeks after they move in and asks them to rate areas such as service and the quality of their home. From the results, each of the UKs 15 major housebuilders is then awarded a star rating from one to five. In the latest set of results, which cover home completions for the 12 months ending September 2010, 86 per cent of the companys customers said they would recommend McCarthy and Stone to a friend and 88 per cent were satisfied with the quality of their home. Both results place McCarthy and Stone among the highest performing major housebuilders in the UK and continue the companys industry leading performance as the only housebuilder to receive five stars for six years in a row. Derek Field, McCarthy and Stones director responsible for customer care, comments: Being awarded five stars for customer satisfaction for the sixth year running is an amazing achievement and is testament both to our commitment to customer care and the fact our teams on site always go the extra mile to make sure every customer has a positive experience. We understand that the decision to move from the family home, sometimes after many years, can be daunting, so its important that we offer a personal service that offers help and support every step of the way. The nature of our developments means that customer satisfaction is particularly important to us and we are committed to ensuring our purchasers move is a pleasant one and that they continue to be happy in their new home for years to come. McCarthy and Stone is currently offering a range of one and two bedroom apartments across the region such as Wallace Court in Ross-On-Wye. All McCarthy and Stone retirement developments are designed to promote an active and independent lifestyle for the over 60s and include facilities such as a residents lounge, guest suite, a house manager and a lift.

Buy-to-let prospects

Rents are on the riseWITH a 4.4 per cent rise in the past year alone, rents of private sector houses and flats are almost back at the peak seen in autumn 2010, according to the latest Buy-to-Let Index from LSL Property Services. The company says the average rent in April in England and Wales rose 0.8 per cent to 692 per month, matching the record high of November 2010. The agency says average yields for landlords reached 5.1 per cent in April, as rents increased at a faster rate than rental property prices. David Newnes, LSL Property Services estate agency managing director, says: The rental market is heating up as thousands of would-be tenants have taken advantage of good weather and long weekends to hunt for new rental homes. Even a slightly stronger supply of property has failed to cool rental inflation as landlords take advantage of the growing number of mortgage Continued from page 88 of existing hay barn, replace fully glazed gable wall with traditional window and door layout and add window to south east elevation for Mr Paul Lewis at Box Cottage.

MORETON ON LUGG: Proposed singlestorey extension on front elevation for Mr and Mrs I Holland at 10 St Andrews Close. products available. Competition is fierce and tenants pay premiums to secure properties. According to LSL, the average landlord is charging nearly 30 more a month than a year ago, and the rate of increase is unlikely to tail off as lending to first-time buyers remains subdued and demand for rental homes is stronger than ever. With rent rises balanced by a slight decline in property prices over the past three months, the total annual return on a property now stands at 2.1 per cent. With annual rental earnings ranging from 3,509 to 7,955 in rent, theres an average capital loss of 4,446. If property values continue to decline as they have in the last quarter, property investors could expect to make a slight annual loss of 61 per rental property in the next year 8,307 in rent, against a capital loss of 8,368. garden, fell one sycamore, reduce height of one cypress to 6m, prune one from top of crowns of two cypress, reduce hedgerow on opposite bank to 2.5m in height for Mr M Bradford at 19 Mortimer Close.

Installation of photovoltaic panels to the Newnes says: Annual returns may have declined in recent months, but for longterm investors not looking to sell immediately, buy-to-let remains an attractive proposition. Healthy demand for the limited supply of rental accommodation is driving up rents, and with mortgage finance for buyers still so constrained, this is unlikely to ease off anytime soon. The big worry for landlords is unpaid rents. Tenant arrears increased in April, says the LSL survey, with 11.8 per cent of all UK rent unpaid or late by the end of the month, up 2.4 per cent on the previous month. Unpaid rent totalled 284 million across the UK in April, up nearly 27 per cent on 224 million in March. Rents are rising so fast that many couples have had to give up their love nests' and share with other tenants to bring weekly payments down. leylandii for Ms Duggan at The White House.
