Long Term the Only Way is Up

01/04/2008

Whilst there may be some uncertainty in the housing market at the moment, in the long term property should remain a safe investment.

There is little sign to suggest that the UK is anywhere near meeting Government targets for the construction of new homes for at least the next few years to come.

This imbalance between supply and demand is the fundamental factor that will underpin the residential property market.

With a national shortfall of 80,000 new homes per year and developers reporting a further fall in housing starts for 2008, this deficit only looks set to worsen.

Local planning constraints, will continue to reduce supply. This will lead to a significantly greater demand than supply for years to come.
