House prices predicted to fall by 7 percent

The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) expects house prices to fall by at least 7 percent over the next year, the Times Online reported yesterday. It attributes this decline to the Credit Crunch, which has all but obliterated consumers’ hopes of purchasing properties for the foreseeable future. RICS further predicts that property sales will fall by a staggering 40 percent if stricter lending conditions do not ease up, reports the Times.

While RICS predicts that prices will stabilise sometime next year, it was careful to explain that, given the current housing market instability, it was difficult to predict the recovery of the market with any degree of certainty.

However, as a home seller, it may still be a while before you can sell your property with any ease. Property website, Rightmove, recently warned that estate agents may refuse to take on any new properties, as the homes currently on their books are simply not selling, leading to a massive accumulation of unwanted – or unaffordable – properties.

If you need to sell your property urgently, turn to MPG Investments. Regardless of the effects of the credit crunch, we’re still guaranteed to purchase your home – and within just 7 days. Contact us today on 0800 634 9231 to find out more about our guaranteed offers.
