House Prices | London Top 100

House prices are tied to our economic stability. Within the UK, property is a widely-held asset, with home ownership seen by many as a natural part of their lives. Home ownership has traditionally been higher in the UK than in some other European countries: in 2009, the most recent year for which figures are available from Eurostat, home ownership in England was 69.9 per cent, compared to 63 per cent in France and 57.5 per cent in Austria. The UK figure is similar to that in other Anglophone countries: in the first quarter of 2010, the US Census Bureau reported a national home ownership rate of 67.1 per cent; while the Australian Bureau of Statistics reports a stable national rate around 70 per cent over the past four decades. Little wonder house prices are so eagerly followed in Britain, the US and elsewhere: for much of the population, property is their most significant investment, seen as a store of wealth and, while house prices rise, a supplement to their pension savings.
