The housing market crisis and beyond -- The evolution of the modern housing market -- Housing supply, a very British problem -- Owning and borrowing -- Market renting -- Origins and consequences of the current downturn -- Housing market futures
Report for the National Association of Estate Agents analyses the roots of the modern UK housing market, provides analysis of the current housing market downturn and assesses the future prospects for the housing market. Topics covered include changes in tenure, housing supply, debt and the role of the private sector. The author asserts that the current housing market downturn may affect the UK economy more than other countries, as our housing market and our general fiscal health are more closely linked. He closes by adding that the market will be characterised by a reduction in competition as it revives and that the boom/bust cycle of housing values in the UK is made worse by the general property undersupply.
