We have become quite accustomed to a stall in the house prices, if they start rising before the end of the summer we wont really trust it and I dont think there is much of a fear of it going the other way and prices to fall further. The 25% fall predicted by some is not what estate agents are seeing on the ground. If you are down the bottom of the property ladder it would have been daunting in years gone by. Prices rising, fees going up and every few months the whole picture changes! The position we are in now though has to be the ideal one for first time buyers and buyers (especailly government key service workers) from lower incomes.
Prices are down and sellers are starting to bite the bullet and lower asking prices rather than wait to see what happens. The main obstacle will be mortgage finance. Speaking as someone who is currently remortgaging the change, even since this time in 2009, is marked. I will be paying 25% more for my mortgage at least while still be paying interest only and locked in for longer! I’m not surprised that many people are priced out of the market even if they could get approval in the first place. But this should be compensated overall by the drop in asking prices.
You can see why people want to share houses in joint purchases, or take part in Government schemes such as the Key Worker scheme which provides assistance for teachers, police officers, fire fighters, paramedics and care workers to buy in selected geographical areas. Now is the time to do it.
But how can the government help the biggest amount of people? It doesnt sound like its high on the priority list at the moment. Billions of pounds of assistance were removed at the last budget and nothing has replace it.

If the Bank Of England keep the mortgage rate at 0.5% why are our mortgage payments rising? The fact is that the mortgage rate is a guideline and since the good times of pre-2007 lending are over and the seemingly bottomless pit of cash is empty meaning this disparity is set to grow in the months to come. If that was not enough the the base rate is set to rise later this year. So will we see mortgage lenders falling in line with the base rate?
With mortgage approvals down again in 2011 and many mortgage products removed from sale the number of mortgage defaults has risen steeply in the first quarter of 2011.
House prices in the UK are now falling faster than disaster riden Spain, which will worry anyone wqho has been keeping tabs on the Spanish market with much property virtually worthless and the construction industry in crisis.

A little bit of optimism is good, lets not get dragged into doom and gloom which creates a loop downward into a recession, but have we been a little bit overly optimistic? Asking prices have jumped by the biggest amount since 2007 pricing a large slice of buyers out of the market, leaving a large number of over priced properties on the market.
The average asking pricing for a property in the UK rose by 1.7% to £235,000. Are we being unreasonable with our expectations or are we right to dig in and wait it out?
Many industry experts are predicting that if individual sellers dont get real with the prices they are asking the market will stall and prices will have to fall, worst case scenario 25% in total, and then we will see a double dip.
With interest rates going up and inflation rising to 4.4% the signs are not good for late 2011. Sign up for free updates and information at House Price Spy!

Figures for the average house price in the UK rose very slightly in March by a tiny 0.1% according to the Halifax. OK, so nobody will be getting too excited about that but in general prices have been holding steady in 2011 so no cause for disaster just yet.
House prices in the last year have remained static but mortgage lending is noticably down, as the mortgage market is squeezed with many now not able to afford property.
The Bank of England have held the mortgage rate once again at 0.5%. Although with inflation at 4.4% this cannot last forever.

The budget for 2011 did not bring much cheer for the property sector, the feeling is that the government continued the token gestures of the last government but in fairness with inflation rising to 4.4% there was little room for movement.
£250 million of tax payers money has been pumped into breaks for first time buyers, and many people are sceptical about the genuine benefits of this. Tax payers subsidising the worst risk home owners, it has not been proven that any of the billions of pounds new Labour pumped into this area was well spent. With mortgage finance harder than ever to get I am not persuaded this is more than a token effort.
On the plus side changes to planning permission legislation could pave the way for an increase in new build houses and changes to stamp duty could be just what was required to create movement on the market. But these small changes were all that could have been done.
More important to most householders will be the mortgage rate, still standing at 0.5% many are predicting a rise within the year. With inflation up at 4.4% it is a safe bet it will rise in the months to come.
