Everyone knows that there has been a demand for property all over the UK but recent studies have shown that the demand is increasing everywhere apart from our capital, London. Despite the Government’s efforts in the recent years to increase house building levels, the demand for property is still there.
“Despite the initial artificial spike in demand ahead of April’s stamp duty deadline, the changes
to tax brackets for second home and buy to let properties seems to have had a
detrimental impact on London property demand, according to the index report
from eMoov.” Says the Mortgage
Introducer.
The property market across Britain registered a 3% uplift in
demand in the first quarter of 2016, but in the capital it fell by 2% and we
have now seen it increase by 5% since the second quarter of the year, according
to latest market intelligence report.
However, the future is looking brighter for meeting housing
demands with the Government’s
flagship Help to Buy (Equity Loan) scheme. As we have already seen them support
the construction of around 80,000 homes (as well as the same number households
into homeownership) that was recently extended to 2021.
