Stuatz earlier Christmas cheer for property investors

mortgagestrategy: Consumers set to benefit from development collapse, says Assetz

Homebuyers and investors could benefit from the current market as developers try to sell off their housing stock, says Assetz. The company says that as lower interest rates take effect, coinciding with increasing pressure by banks on developers to sell existing stock and the cost of LIBOR continuing to fall, the cost of financing property purchases is set to dip even further in the run up to Christmas. It says that this, combined with banks putting pressure on struggling developers to reduce housing stock could meand discounts of 30 - 40% bringing about the lowest prices for new build housing ever in the UK.

He would be more credible about when he thinks the correct time to pick a bargin was, if he had not been saying it repeatedly for the last 14 months:) In fact, if anyone had listen to him thus far, they would have lost thousands!
