Property Prices
House Prices have seen boom for the past 10 years with the average price leaping from £50,930 in 1994 to £181,810 in 2007. This has priced out many first time buyer out of the market and has made trading up difficult for even the most affluent professionals. The reality is that you get far less for your money than you did 10 years ago.
With the resent increase in interest rates and the tightening up of lending criteria, it seems now house prices are going to settle. Hopefully the next few years will see a buyers market.
So before you buy a house here are a few links to help you find out how much your seller purchased their house for, how much houses are being sold in the district.

Cheapest remortgages
Remortgaging means replacing an existing mortgage with a new one from a different lender and getting the cheapest remortgage available to you although it is not uncommon for people to say they have arranged the cheapest remortgage when they have simply taken a new remortgage from their existing lender.
