520			_aGroup of three articles on aspects of the residential market in the UK and abroad. "Tangled up in red tape" reports on how a raft of current and forthcoming legislation on Stamp Duty Land Tax, money laundering and home information packs is increasing estate agents' workloads. "Homes off the peg" describes how Barratt Homes has started marketing prefabricated homes to address the housing shortage in the UK. "Same song different notes" sees residential markets in a number of countries manifesting the same problems and dealing with the same issues as in the UK. Concludes that across much of the world, although personal borrowing for home ownership is rising and property prices are rising in a more sustained manner than before, stable economic conditions will prevent markets overheating.
