UK house prices recover...buy, buy, buy

Property Secrets Newsletter No. 181| 03/04/09

UK house prices recover...BUY, BUY, BUY?

As the Nationwide announces a 0.9% increase in asking prices and the Bank of England reports a 20% increase in mortgage approvals, it looks like we've reached the bottom of the market and are starting our ascent once more...but are we really?

The Nationwide's figure is for ASKING prices - and is only one month. The Bank of England's figure is month on month and again, is only for February.

So what does this apparent upturn mean and more importantly, is now the right time to get into UK property once more? Robin Bowman takes a look in this week's lead article.

Coming Soon...

April promises to be an exciting month for Property Secrets members. Here's what we have planned for you:

  • Property Finder Bulletin
    A new occasional email bulletin you will be able to sign up to that will contain the best properties we come across while sourcing property for our clients. More next week on this.
  • UK & European Tax Guides
    Your definitive guide to your tax liabilities in the UK, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria.
  • Property Market Assessments
    We extend our current assessments to the rest of the world.
  • Updated Property Tax Secrets / Inheritance Tax Secrets
    Our best selling Tax Secrets books, which show you how to cut your tax bill, will be updated where necessary to reflect any tax changes in the upcoming budget.

The Property Finder Bulletin will be free to join for everyone, but the rest will be PRO-only content, so if you're still a Lite member you might want to consider upgrading now to make sure you have access to everything as soon as it becomes available.

Investment services going from strength to strength

Our investment services - Property Sourcing, Portfolio Reviews and Investment Surveys - are becoming more and more popular with several clients now on board. We're working with them to increase the profitability of their property investments right now.

The feedback we're getting shows that our clients are pleased with the results they're achieving and there has already been some success stories. You'll find out more about these next week.

In the meantime, in the process of sourcing properties to brief for individual clients we come across properties that look like excellent investments but don't quite match the specifics our clients are after. We have some of those on our database right now that we can offer to you.

For more information call Martin on: +44 (0)1270 539576 or email here

Until next week...

Cheers
