The plans will transform a derelict former commercial site, creating a residentially led, mixed-use neighbourhood, with a network of pedestrianised areas, landscaped public squares and extensive green spaces.

For UK rents payable in advance for Q1 21, as at 14 January, 88% of rent due has been collected. “This represents a higher collection level than at the equivalent time in each of the three previous quarters. We expect the substantial balance of outstanding rents to be paid by the end of the quarter with the majority now due to be paid monthly”. Economic data Construction output (link) grew by 1.9% M/M in November, reflecting a 3.5% increase in new work that more than offset the 0.6% fall in repair and maintenance; this was the seventh consecutive month of growth since the record decline (40.7%) in April. The level of construction output in November was 0.6% above the February 2020; with repair and maintenance work 7.4% above and new work 3.1% below its pre-pandemic level. Construction output grew by 12.4% in the three months to November 2020 compared with the previous three-month period, because of growth in both new work, 11.9%, and repair and maintenance, 13.2%. The growth in construction output contributed to today’s better than expected 2.6% contraction in November GDP, which compared to Reuters consensus of -5.7%. In other news … House prices. Residential property prices are set to drop by 6.2% in the first quarter of 2021, according to the Reallymoving House Price Forecast, which has historically closely tracked the Land Registry’s Price Paid data, according to Property Industry Eye (link). Reallymoving expects to see home prices fall by 1.2% in January, 2.5% in February and by 2.6% in March. Based on its analysis of 24,000 conveyancing quote forms completed in the last quarter of 2020, average property prices are forecast to fall from £352,106 in December 2020 to £330,295 by March. Once the stamp duty holiday has ended pressure on conveyancers, surveyors and removals firms will ease, alleviating congestion in the system and bringing more reliability to the home move process, according to the report.

  • How to Sell Your House Online Online Sites Offer Virtually All the Services Of
    How to sell your house online Online sites offer virtually all the services of a traditional estate agent – and their fees can be thousands of pounds lower Sunday 7 July 2013 Online seller Ron Houston: 'They did everything I would expect from a traditional estate agent, with the exception that I had to conduct viewings myself, but I actually enjoyed that side of it.' Photograph: Antonio Olmos for the Observer As the housing market gathers momentum, one group of people hoping to rake in the cash will be estate agents. But a growing number of house sellers are shunning the traditional approach and marketing their properties online, saving thousands of pounds in the process. While high-street estate agents charge between 1.5% and 2% of the sale price, or up to a whopping £6,000 on a £300,000 property, online rivals offer a flat fee of between £250 and £1,000. This breed of private-sale sites and low-cost online agents now accounts for around 5% of completed sales, according to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. The biggest sites all report a rising number of property listings and sales, and the ability to save sellers a chunk of cash, as the sites do not need to fund a chain of offices and company cars. For example, eMoov, which sold 520 properties worth a combined £170m in 2012, has 850 properties for sale, says founder Russell Quirk. "We will sell your property for a flat fee of £395 plus VAT," he says, adding that eMoov saved its average customer £3,846 last year.

Halifax, Nationwide and Rightmove are conversely reporting monthly price falls in the range of 0.3% to 0.9%. All sources continue to report year-on-year increases in the range 3.3% to 7.8%. LSL tell us that prices rose rapidly over much of England and Wales in 2020, with the average house price in December up 7.8% on the previous year. They say this is the highest annual increase since 2016, though it is worth noting that most of this growth took place in the last six months of the year as pent-up demand was released by more relaxed coronavirus restrictions. The NHBC say that new home registrations across the UK fell 23% in 2020 against the previous year, but with figures recovering close to pre- pandemic levels in the final quarter, down just 2% year-on-year.

The market is moving ahead, with prices increasing by £1,125 compared to September - this represents the third consecutive monthly price rise, and prices are up by £3,137 since January 2013. New buyer enquiries, sales and price expectations are all above the three-month average, illustrating the strong headway being made. “Sales in particular are now standing at the highest level since December 2007, and momentum is building further - thanks to the boost in consumer confidence and the improving economic picture. Now that mortgage rates have dropped to record lows, aspiring homeowners have more chance to put together the money required for a deposit. As a result, first-time buyers are entering the market more enthusiastically, and with Wales seeing a higher loan-to-value ratio than elsewhere in the UK. There is also an improvement in the home movers sector of the market.
