  • Rightmove stays bullish despite cooling down of housing market

    November 6, 2014

    Property website Rightmove yesterday said it had a confident outlook for the full year, as more agents and developers used its service to advertise despite signs of a cooling housing market. In a trading update for the four months to 31 October, Rightmove said its membership had grown two per cent since the first half [...]

  • Go all the way with Beaujolais

    November 5, 2014

    My least favourite date in the entire wine calendar is 19 November. It is, of course, Beaujolais Nouveau Day, the time when marketing men and desperate wine bar owners flood the Square Mile with cheap, nasty, pink plonk and try to kid us that it is something special. If I haven’t made myself clear, Beaujolais [...]

  • McCarthy & Stone leads calls for support to help elderly homebuyers

    November 3, 2014

    Retirement housebuilder McCarthy & Stone yesterday called on ministers to focus on addressing housing issues for the elderly and not just first-time buyers. The company, founded in 1977, said housing for the over-65s must become a “priority” for the government. “Most household growth over the next 20 years will involve older people and policy makers [...]

  • London property prices: More million-pound properties have been sold in London this year than ever before

    October 31, 2014

    London house prices might be cooling, but things are certainly hotting up at the premium end of the market. Sales of properties costing more than £1m have reached record levels in the UK with 6,143 houses sold in the first half of the year- 70 per cent of which were in London. That’s nearly 2,000 [...]

  • Bow, Tower Hamlets: All you need to know about London’s new eastern hotspot

    October 30, 2014

      Everyone knows how well Hackney is doing in the property stakes, with house price increases outstripping any other borough in London over the last 12 months. But how about its neighbour Tower Hamlets? As a borough, it’s building more new homes than any other in the country. Bromley-by-Bow, in particular, has been popular with [...]

  • Merchants Walk in east London: Affordable house prices, yet very commutable

    October 30, 2014

      As the fringes of the City soar in both popularity and price, first-time buyers and young professionals on modest incomes are looking to move a bit further afield. In this case “further afield” means 15 minutes away by Tube. Bow in Tower Hamlets, east London, has seen a spurt in popularity as a result, [...]

  • Help-to-buy sees high use

    October 30, 2014

    JUST under 34,000 homes have been bought using the govern­m­ent’s Help-to-Buy scheme, re­quiring £1.42bn of loans from the Treasury. The scheme provides a loan to first-time buyers of new builds. The loan can be up to 20 per cent of the house price with only a five per cent deposit needed. The homes most commonly bought [...]

  • The art of theft: Why do thieves steal famous paintings when they’re so hard to sell?

    October 28, 2014

      On a freezing Stockholm evening just before Christmas 2000, a group of six to eight Middle Eastern men put into action a plan they’d been working on for months. The group parked cars in the middle of the three central roads leading to the Swedish National Museum and set them ablaze. As fire engines [...]

  • Goldman: Weak Opec will mean lower oil prices

    October 27, 2014

    OIL PRICES will continue to decline in 2015, according to analysts form Goldman Sachs, who have also stated that the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) has lost its pricing power. The investment bank has lowered its price forecasts for brent crude oil from $100 a barrel to $85 a barrel for the first quarter and [...]

  • How shared ownership can help get Londoners on the housing ladder

    October 22, 2014

    The Scottish Parliament has set out plans to levy its first tax since 1707. In an effort to support first time buyers, it proposed reforming stamp duty into a marginal – rather than a “slab” – tax, meaning that house sales in Scotland will no longer incur the highest rate on the whole price. These [...]
