SW15 Property Back at Peak Levels?
Latest numbers suggest market recovery has been strong
New figures are suggesting that property prices in the Putney area may have staged a complete recovery and could even be reaching new record levels.
The average sale price for August so far according to Land Registry figures was £677,075. This would be one of the highest monthly averages on record.
Although volumes are still too low to take monthly averages as a reliable guide to the level of the market, there are other indications of an almost complete recovery. The Right Move house price index which is based on offer prices rather than actual sale prices is suggesting a stronger recovery during Autumn. The index is up by 2.8% for October which and is now higher than the same month last year. By this index London property prices are at a record high and according to their survey only one in ten buyers are expecting prices to fall.
Martin Ellis, housing economist at the Halifax, said, "The combination of increased demand and a low level of properties available for sale has pushed up house prices in recent months. The marked improvement in affordability due to the reduction in both property prices and interest rates since mid- 2007 has been a key factor in stimulating higher demand."
Prices in London rose by 0.8% during August according to the Land Registry's House Price Index. The average price of a London home is £310,640 and this is down by 6.2% since last year.
For the England and Wales as a whole prices fell by 0.1% in August and are down 9.4% compared with the previous August.
