In this fourth episode in the mini-series looking at the question everyone is asking;

‘Is the property market going to crash?’

Shaz reviews why the economists think a downturn is possible,  sharing not only the facts but his expert opinion based on the information and data available. This is a great opportunity to not only hear the key facts in one place but also the views of someone with considerable experience and expertise in the property market.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The economic cycle is around 18 years and we are currently 7 years into a cycle.
• Both Brexit and COVID are causing issues at a time in the cycle when it’s anticipated there will be a correction.
• Due to COVID 19 unemployment has increased and there are more people who are financially unstable
• It is argued that a predictor of a crash is when mortgage payments are more than 45% of household income
• The bounce-back loan and the Coronavirus interruption loan have helped to keep interest rates low.
• Housing charities estimate that 200,000 tenants have slipped into arrears and it’s expected that this number will increase when furlough finishes.
• There needs to be more social housing and if housing becomes unaffordable then prices will drop.
• The lockdown has caused many to re-evaluate what they want from life and currently, houses are selling well.
• It’s looking very similar to where we were in 2008 and it has been predicted that house prices could fall by 20%.
• I think the climate and situation will see prices will drop significantly in 2021.
