Any predictions on impact of new landlord/tenancy rules on house prices?

[mikado1]

Just that really... wondering if there'll be any slow down on house prices or what's in store for the year ahead. Half considering an investment/future college property for the dc but wouldn't do anything until I see what changes might be ahead. Looks like no change in next ten years in terms of demand for property so it's hard to imagine prices coming down but they're pretty crazy as it stands.

Increasing population, no increase in supply?

Well they're building on any spare piece of land locally to me but yes, they're saying demand will continue to outweigh supply for ten years anyway.

Not much change to purchase prices.
Decent rentals more expensive.
More slum landlords.

This was quite interesting on the housing market if u consider Baby Boomer generation age and how expensive heating has become so demand for flats but the market is due to change quite significantly which makes sense as the market will only endure what people are willing to pay

Ok thank you. Will take a look.

OP we have been wondering the same. Lots of building of private and social housing close to me but house prices are still unbelievable. A mum at the school bought an ex corporation house in a not so brilliant area for an insane amount recently as it’s all they could afford. I’m hoping prices start to slow down at least

Yes it's similar here (Munster) As I sat, crazy prices really... we've recently moved so at least sold in same market as bought but the costs of updating new house even, are mad.
