Thinking Of Moving? Save Money And Move Up North

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

If you are thinking about moving house then you may want to consider hiring a removals firm and relocating to the North to save cash.

Findings have revealed that homes are twice as expensive in the South as the North.

The price divide between the North and South has existed for years but it is continuing to increase at an astonishing rate. The gap between the average costs of homes between the two regions is as much as £170,000 and now the average house price in the South is more than twice as high as the North.

The study showed that house prices in the South rose by almost 5% last month which has taken the gap to its widest extent ever recorded by property firms.

The asking price in places like London, the South-East, South-West and East Anglia rose by 4.7% in September in comparison to prices in the North and North-West, the West and East Midland, Yorkshire and the Humber and Wales which dropped by 0.7%.

Since the start of the economic meltdown four years ago, house values haven fallen by 9.6% in the North but soared by 5.4% in the South. And the gloomy results are expected to get worse as property prices have been predicted to tumble a further 10% by 2013.

So if you are contemplating in packing up and moving house ponder moving the family to the North of England to save money.

Great News For Home Removals: UK House Prices Set To Rise

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

It might not quite be music to the ears for people looking to get onto the property ladder but for those who are homeowners already, a recent survey has shown that things are starting to look up.

A report by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has revealed that UK house prices will hit an all-time high by the year 2015, with houses increasing in value and average prices climbing by 14%.

The research findings show that over the next four years, the price of an average house will reach its highest ever record in Britain and will be worth more than £200,000, up from the current £176,000.

It is positive news and a relief for those Brits who are wishing to hire a removals firm and relocate to another part of the country but are presently putting it on hold because they will lose too much money by selling now.

The overall conclusion is that if one can sit on a property and wait until 2015 they should, as the house price will rise. Many people have been left in negative equity as the value of the property has collapsed since the recession.

Douglas McWilliams, CEBR chief executive, believes the price rise will be due to the shortage of homes for sale.

So as confidence in the housing market begins to increase, use Robinsons International for your expert home removals.



Research Shows House Price Gap Is At Its Widest In A Decade

Friday, July 15th, 2011

The typical home in London is now worth 113% more than the average home in England and Wales according to some latest research.

It means that the gap in house prices between London, England and Wales is at its widest in a decade.

Research from an estate agent called Savills shows that the English capital is stemming ahead than the rest of the country and Wales in terms of house price. According to its analysis of Land Registry data, the agent has found that the gap has become particularly pronounced- more so now than 10 years ago.

In 1995 the difference between the typical house prices was just 47%, and in 2005/6 it had soared to 73% but this is a stark alteration to the latest figures of over 100 per cent.

A typical four-bed family home in prime south west London is now in the region of £1.325 million but by contrast, an equivalent home in the prime commuter zone just outside London and the M25 is around £805,000. By simply moving out of prime London there is a saving of £520,000.

So if you want to save some money and would rather move out of the busiest area and commute into London to work, contact the expert removals firm Robinsons International.
