Steve, you are wrong when you have said London prices are falling - according to the Land Registry figures quoted in the article they are up 11.3% over the last year to March. In Chiswick they have fallen during that period but that is probably a localised mansion tax effect. There is a danger here of conflating a discussion of the data with a discussion of the rights and wrongs of the situation. I am not saying that rising house prices are an unmitigated benefit - there are obvious problems that are going to arise but unfortunately if we don't build enough houses then prices are going to remain unfeasibly high. |
