Local estate agents predict post-election bounce for SW6 house prices
Local estate agents are predicting a strong post-election bounce for Fulham property prices as new figures show them faltering in the first three months of the year.
During this period the average price fell by 11.1%, slipping to just under the million mark at £988,209.
The volume of sales meanwhile was almost halved, down 45.3% compared with the same period last year - down from 300 to just 164.
No detached houses were sold during these months and only two semi-detached, probably due to concerns over Labour's proposed mansion tax.
The average price of terraced houses meanwhile dropped by 8.9% to £1,616.795 while flats fell by 9.3% to £703,451.
Agents however say this gloomy picture has changed completely since the decisive election result.
Peter Rollings, CEO of Marsh and Parsons says: " The post-election feel-good factor could well kick in immediately and 2015 may prove to be a reversed version of 2014 in starting slowly and finishing strongly.
"The top-end market will be breathing a huge sigh of relief that £2m+ properties won’t be penalised by a mansion tax, a levy that would have stifled activity in the capital and across the South East."
According to Land Registry figures London as a whole continued to see the highest price rises in the country in March rising by 11.3% to £462,799. This compares to a 5.3% increase for England and Wales which brought the average price up to £178,007. The peak was achieved in November 2007 when the average reached £181,049.
The number of properties sold in England and Wales for over £1 million decreased by 19 per cent to 851 from 1,049 a year earlier. Repossessions in England and Wales decreased by 45 per cent to 590 compared with 1,081 in January 2014
London was the region with the greatest fall in repossession sales with only 65 taking place in January 2015.
