London House Prices To Soar Until 2020

Read this news report from the Daily Mail that quotes data from the  from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

The average annual gain over the next 5 years will be around 6 percent, according to the RICS, with London's estimated increase highest at 9.3%


The root cause is a chronic shortage of homes for sale.  Some owners are unwilling to move for fear of not finding a new place.  This in turn cuts the number of properties coming on the market.

An agent from Enfield, North London, said: "Most properties are going under offer almost as soon as they are put on the market.  Prices are increasing rapidly."

The RICS report says a housing market recovery is well and truly under way in Britain, but warned of a dangerous imbalance between supply and demand.

Happy Investing!
