For the last few years, the London property market has been one of the most talked about in the world. Before the crash it was talked about because of the rapid rate at which property prices were growing, especially prime properties, and the fact that first time buyers were being priced out of the market.

The full scale of alleged buy-to-let scams is starting to emerge with the collapse of mortgage lending and house prices, according to the Serious Fraud Office.
Detectives are looking at cases involving thousands of investors losing millions of pounds in alleged property frauds in the UK and overseas.
Many investigations are examining off-plan buy-to-let frauds involving hundreds of properties in Leeds, Cardiff, Nottingham, Derby, Liverpool, Hull and London.
Already this month five directors of Gateshead based PPP Ltd (Practical Property Portfolios Ltd) and sister company Napeer (Holdings) Ltd have pleaded guilty to fraudulent trading charges.

UK House prices face a plunge of 10.5%
by Overseas Property Mall on Friday, August 29th, 2008 in UK Property
It’s official – according to Nationwide Building Society, the average cost of homes in the UK have plunged by 10.5% within the last 12 months to the end of August
UK housing is currently facing trying times as house prices fall at their fastest rate in 18 years. The rate has been at its fastest this month (August 2008) recording a drop by 1.9 per cent, following drops of 1.5 per cent and 0.9 per cent in July and June respectively.
All this is in the midst of Taylor Wimpey’s massive £1.5 billion loss and two-thirds loss of their stock value.
Is this going to hamper or encourage overseas property investment by Brits?
