It has been an interesting two weeks back at the office. There has been a definite improvement in the number of people registering on our mailing list and looking at our we site. We are also coming across a lot of people in rented accommodation with cash in the bank. I think they are very concerned about low interest rates and indeed the safety of their money despite all the government assurances ! They want to buy a house but are frustrated by the lack of suitable houses on the market and concern about how much prices will go down. We definitely need to tempt these individuals and to do that we need more properties on the market.
On another note I was surprised to say the least about the reporting of Margeret Becketts latest thoughts in the Sunday Times. Apparently the Labour Government is already preparing for the next bout of house price inflation !! I think we would all prefer our elected leaders to focus on the problems we all currently facing !
