Ok i'm tryin to get on the property ladder. who is makin up these house prices cause they r too expensive.

me
the estate agents
they just put any price they want on any ol' house

Not good, is it? I know we live in a capitalist economy, where one squeezes the maximum price for what one has to sell, but if builders were to sell their houses at a price based on cost plus margine, surley this would help? I cannot believe that if house prices double over, say, a two year period, the building costs also double.


*~STEVIE~* *~B~*
Too many people x not enough houses = high prices.

OK It's the sellers of the properties OK They just want as much as they can get OK you'd be the same if you were selling OK instead of buying OK yar

The property developers are behind the prices. It only costs about £50,000 to build a house for the average family and the land costs to be added to that. the builders just double those costs to make the selling price. this means that on average the builders are making about £150,000 per house.

if you look into it,i think its the council,they do like a part home owning plan,where you actually buy half the house,and they own the other half,then say in a few years time ,if your circumstances change,you can buy their half...no its not a wind up,one of my old pals has done this? worth looking into?

Don't worry,soon we will all be reaping the rewards of having thousands of the Polish workers,working for a pittance,in the construction industry.Surely the vast savings made by putting our own people out of work will filter through to the house buyer. not.

I have heard a whisper the govt is bringing out new legislation to give first time buyers a better chance of purchasing property. it is something to do with builders building houses and like it used to be houses will be sold at a stated price no bidding allowed.

Nobody makes prices up.They are established by market forces of supply and demand.In Essex which is a typical commuting county especially to the East, There is a shortage of decent modern houses and the demand has pushed the prices up as prospective buyers have competed with one and other to get the house they like. It depends a bit on what sort of mortgage your salary would allow you to have and whether you aspirations of the type and location of your ideal property meet this figure.It might mean you have to set your sights a bit lower when looking a t properties.I live in Basildon in Essex.I know it has had some criticism in the past but it is not a bad place with plenty going for it and it is easy to commute from.There are quite a lot of properties for sale in all sorts of locations ranging from £150K to £250K or more.Whether these would be within your price range I don't know or you might feel that this area is not your thing.All you can do is keep looking. But prices will only go up. They will not come down in the short term.

the prices arent made up, the core problem is that there are too many people and not enough houses being built, itll get worse whilst the labour government continues to have an open door policy on imigrant workers who are being housed by greedy landlords in private rent accomadation, these landlords are buying up most of the property that comes onto the market and 1st time buyers cant compete with these inflated prices, supply has to outway demand to bring the prices down, this will onyl be achieved by 1... putting a block on imigration,2....passing laws to prevent the private landlords from monopolising the market and 3.....the most important point building lots of affordable homes both in the private sector and council housing, i live in n.ireland and we too have this huge problem.

It is the demand for houses. On average there is around 12 people for everyhouse so it is because evrybody wants one that is why they are so expensive if 10 million people in this country decided to not buy a house prices would just plummet but that 10 million isn't just going to happen. If you can't reallya fford what you want move out a bit into the country and spend that extra 30 mins travelling but having a better size home. If you look on rightmove.co.uk the area now and then a different area 20 miles away further away from the city look at what you can get in that area. Good Luck!

You're in the same boat as a lot of people unfortunatley.
It's all about greed I'm afraid. Greedy estate agents over inflating prices and trying to squeeze as much money out of buyers as possible as they know there is a shortage of houses. Also the greedy buy to let landlords who own dozens or more properties (well the bank owns them actually).
Wish there would be some legislation that restricts the number of properties you are allowed to own - that would cool the market down but doubt it would ever happen.
I'm just hoping interest rates go up a bit more, people stop buying and the government builds more houses. I don't want to see a massive crash like the 80s and 90s but just an adjustment so everyone can afford to buy if they want to.

I'm afraid they're expensive because of all the selfish buggers who buy-to-let. These people own dozens of houses in some cases and keep the market artificially high. I'm renting and never intend to buy in the UK - it's simply a waste of money and a huge burden for the rest of your life. As long as you can get your head round the fact you're paying someone else's mortgage, renting is fine.
