How much more can house prices rise? Anyway with migration and immigration to the inner cities greatly reduces, we will see a decline in demand for rental properties. This will be coupled with an increasingly aggressive policy to build news affordable homes, so much of it, sadly, on green belt.
so many terreced properties have been let out to migrant workers and the prices of these have rocketed as a result, so much of these have been bought with big mortgages and hence tight margins. If these margins are tested, we could see a big sell off, this would almost certainly cascade into the wider market. With the decline of the high street, we could also see urban floor space converted to cheap affordable accomodation. Generally speaking the UK now has a vey big debt problem and whilst we will see serious jobs growth next year when Covid is truly gone. So much of the new jobs will be "zero hours" hardly the type of jobs to sustain a " booming house market"
