Strong sales growth sees average price smash record
|
Following continued growth over the past few months the latest statistics show that the average price for a home with an SW15 postcode is £542,562 - a new record for the area.
Strong price increases have occurred in most sectors with both semi-detached and detached houses increasing by over 20% over the last year.
Flat prices are rising more slowly up by 10.5% over the year. However it is this sector which has seen the the largest increase in volume of sales over the past year by over 26%.
Volume recovery overall for the area has been good with sales up by 25% compared with the same months in 2009. However the levels are not unprecedented - average price is only 8.5% up on the average three years ago.
For London as a whole the Land Registry data shows an increase of 8.8% in September over the same month in 2009. The average price of a London residential property is now £340,344. This is the smallest annual rise since December 2009. Compared to August prices fell by 0.6%
The Nationwide's House Price index is suggesting a lower overall increase in prices than the Land Registry. This is based on offer prices for homes rather than achieved sale prices. Martin Gahbauer, Nationwide's Chief Economist, said:
"October saw a continuation of the modest downward trend in house prices that began at the start of the summer. The average price of a typical UK property edged down by a seasonally adjusted 0.7% month-on month
in October."
He now thinks that a second round of quantative easing will be supportive for the property market.
