Experts suggest that the outlook for the property market during 2012 is much the same as that of the previous year. The Bank of England's base rate is expected to remain at 0.5 per cent which along with the number of houses for sale staying the same means that prices should remain stable. This is positive news for those looking for property investment.
Those looking for BMV investments, need to research the area for their property investment. Areas hardest hit by recession are unlikely to see lots of people willing to move and, whilst there may be properties for sale you need to consider whether you will get a return on your investment. Other areas of the UK, particularly the South East and London are likely to hold their prices well due to higher employment levels and more amenities which make an area more attractive to buyers.
In the current situation, demand for property is higher than the amount of homes available. This is due to the fact that fewer and fewer new houses are being built to cope with demand. This is one of the factors which keeps the property prices stable both for UK and overseas properties.
In the coming year there is unlikely to be an increase in the number of first time buyers. With rising unemployment and many facing an uncertain financial future many people are being put off investing in their first home, choosing to wait until their own futures are more certain. Therefore those looking for property investment or overseas properties are unlikely to face much competition for property with more BMV properties available.
It is unlikely that 2012 will see a large increase in the amount of first time buyers. With fears of unemployment and being unable to meet mortgage repayments many people are put off from buying their first home. This may cause an increase in BMV both in UK and overseas properties as sellers find there are fewer buyers willing to invest.
Although mortgages are available, the high deposits required along with the economic situation means that many first time buyers are put off buying property. In turn this causes many who are selling UK and overseas properties to reduce their prices to BMV in order to make the sale.
Many overseas properties, as a result of the global recession may be being sold at BMV as well as properties in the UK. Over the course of 2012 experts have predicted a gradual fall in house prices, how much prices will fall by is difficult to tell but the worsening economic situation could see prices fall by five per cent or more should the UK go into a second recession.
With sellers unwilling to drop prices and buyers able to cherry pick from a range of properties and unwilling to pay over the market value, many property sales are at a stalemate. If the area is not right then the houses are sitting unsold. If you are looking at buying a property at BMV you need to be sure that the property would eventually sell at a higher price than that which you paid for it. Whether you are looking for UK or overseas properties you should also consider the length of your investment. With prices static it may be some time before you see a return on your investment.
