What the experts say

January 1, 2006
by News on the Block Editorial Team

“House price growth over 2005 is set to be the lowest for a decade. Whilst activity levels may have improved over the autumn on the back of more realistic pricing it does not automatically follow that prices will start to rise.”

Richard Donnell, Director of Research, Hometrack

“2006 will continue to see a vibrant buy to let market across the UK, with growth driven by increased consumer confidence and high demand.”Lee Grandin, Managing Director, Landlord Mortgages

“The cool-down in the housing market over 2005 may have driven away the speculative investor, but informed, professional buy to let landlords remain committed to their investments.” John Heron, Managing Director, Paragon Mortgages
