What the experts say
“The private rented sector continues to be an attractive proposition for investor landlords; it is the most stable sector of the housing market. Industry forecasts of growth in renting from 11% to 15% of all housing are likely to prove accurate.”
Adrian Turner, Chief Executive, ARLA
“The housing market will wake up on New Year’s day 2006 without the hangover it suffered in January 2005. Househunter confidence is on the up and although we don’t expect prices to rise strongly, there is no doubt that people are no longer afraid to move.”
Jim Buckle, Managing Director, Propertyfinder.com
“House price growth over 2005 is set to be the lowest for a decade. Affordability constraints remain the biggest barrier to house price growth over 2006. Low levels of house price growth will result in a steady re-alignment of household incomes and house prices to more sustainable levels.” Richard Donnell, Director of Research, Hometrack
