    Anthony Dixon

    In the timeless words of Henry Brooks Adams, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Embracing this profound wisdom, I believe that a life well-lived is one marked by the continuous exchange of knowledge and wisdom. As the author, I echo the sentiment that if you’ve journeyed through life without imparting something meaningful to the next generation, be it through teaching or learning, you’ve merely existed, not truly lived. Through my writings, I aspire to contribute to the tapestry of wisdom, leaving an imprint that resonates beyond the confines of time. I have written over five hundred Blogs, many dealing with Parenting, Relationships and Safe Driving with the hope that someone will benefit from them. Facebook inspired me to start writing, my first Blog sixty words long was posted on Facebook. From that day on I knew that Social media was a tool to share Knowledge. In the process of writing this Book, I have learned that you can face life, no matter what it throws at you. It’s all about resiliency of the human spirit.

      Understanding the Property Market

      Market Overview

      The house market is starting to stabilise since the recession in 2008. Lenders are starting to review their lending criteria to increase loans.

      Since the house prices crashed in 2007 the market has recovered and since 2010-2011 house prices have climbed steadily. Current market prices at the end of 2014 according to housing price indexes show that the prices are now around the prices of 2007 before the market crashed.

      Predictions by forecasters are that the market will continue to grow and that house prices will have grown by 15%-25% in 2019.

      However, short-term outcomes are likely to be slowing of the house price growth, limits on the growth in transactions and increasing demand into the private rented sector. These outcomes are due to government policies on lending where there will be increased regulation on borrowers’ affordability, capital repayment requirement and loan to income caps at lender level. Rising interest rates will also contribute to a slow growth in prices.

      As of 2014, the market is still in favour of the seller; however it is improving for the buyer more than in previous years. The reason being that growth in prices will slow since prices in 2014 had grown at the fastest rate since the financial crisis in 2007 and the market has got ahead of itself. With the Bank of England reviewing the base rate of interest with a likely increase the outcome is slower price growth in the housing market.

      History of the Property Cycle – Short-term and Long-term Trends

      The property cycle usually spans over 15-20 years
