So what does the new year hold for the property market? Most property ‘experts’ are predicting UK house will increase in 2015. Not by much, but by a bit. Perhaps by around 3% or 4% on average. But I’m not totally convinced. Seems like it’s only myself and the CEBR who doubt this, though. Want…
DetailsWe all know that trying to predict will happen is a mugs game, nobody really knows and, in my opinion, if they turn out to be right, chances are they just had a lucky guess! But as property investors, especially those of us with existing portfolios, it makes sense to keep an eye on what…
