After using assessment information provided by the county and tax information provided by the city, under the “tax reform” proposal, the results are : those living in suburban areas in Kingswood will be rewarded with a huge tax cut, while residents in the modest old black Loyalist community will have to pay their taxes more than doubled.

Residential rents did very well towards the end of 2009. The residential Landlords Association reported an increase by 0.7% in December which brought in an average of £1,651 as rent. The demand for residential property is more than commercial ones.

Except for London, in all other regions buying a house is better than renting because property analysts feel that the worst downturn is a matter of past. The cost of taking a loan is very prospective and interest rates are low too. Since the financial situation is improving affordability power is improving too. Since buyers are very few, it is very easy to negotiate with the property dealers as prices remain under pressure. 63% of the buyers feel this is the perfect time to buy a house.

But there is one major point to look into before buying a house. Finance is the most important aspect. Soon 1% tax will be payable on properties that cost between £125,000 and £250,000. We must have ample savings in order to pay this or else even money lenders might deny our loan. This is a perfect time to buy a house if we have enough savings and a secure job. But we must keep in mind not to over stretch our loans.

An increase in price can be seen in locations such as Mayfair and in the City Financial district. Another point to worry is the action taken by government to reduce Britain’s rising national debt by constricting tenant demand and rental growth. Public spending will be severely cut and as a result people will have lesser money. All this will have a negative impact on business and people who wish to buy commercial rental space. We should be very careful and spend judiciously so that in the long run it benefits us, because spending power will be restricted and we can avoid useless expenditure.

The banks will do anything to improve their balance sheet as a result people will have very less help from banks.

But there are many other countries that do not have an unswerving source of property pricing. Even US is yet to use derivatives wholeheartedly. Derivatives are used more openly in the European markets such as Germany and France. Generally trading is done o the overall IPD index but investors such as Prudential’s property funds have started to trade derivatives based on development of certain sector within property such as retail and London Offices. These properties can also be used for derivative trading.

This step will help more people to invest. Even if shares of one sector falls the other sector can act as a back up depending on that sector’s potential. There is a lot of prospective by using derivatives. Commercial property owners can lock income returns and evade capital values if they fear a fall in prices. The residential derivative market is not very often traded and in the last quarter of 2009 residential derivative contracts were traded against Halifax House Price Index for an estimated £150 m.
