Is the UK property market on the road to recovery?

There are signs that it is...depending, of course, how you look at it. We've published a series of blogs looking at the various reports and forecasts that have come out this week.

Both the Council of Mortgage Lenders and the Institute of Chartered Surveyors have issued 'good news' this past week, albeit with certain riders! Put it all together and does it mean that the UK property market is verging on recovery? Read the Blogs section below for expert insight.

How going green could add thousands to your property

Going green is the new black, as we all know. Even in these times of economic hardship you have to display a certain level of environmental friendliness or risk being thought of negatively!

Usually that means something expensive. But what if it didn't have to? What if, in fact, you could be eco-friendly and ADD thousands of pounds to the value of your property AND save money in the future?

Tony Booth's latest article will tell you how. Check it out below.

There has been a huge amount of interest in Central and Eastern Europe property in the last five years, as you'll know. But there has been very little real coverage of how the economic crisis has affected these markets.

Fortunately, our analyst, Anna Grybel-Kloc, has been assessing the impact of the crisis on these countries and, in particular, their property markets. In her article this week, she clearly explains what's been happening - and when recovery is likely to begin. Again, see below for the link to the article.
