In a recent article Fool.co.uk looked at how the housing prices may affect the mortgages in the next four years. There was a series done regarding 2012 projections to try and figure out what the UK residents may be in for in the next few years. It seems that those at Fool.co.uk believe that the housing prices are going to fall by 20% in this year, and that is going to adversely affect the banks.
In fact most believe the lower housing prices are going to make the lenders change their mind on being greedy or they are going to lose out on some of the best times to lend money. Of course there are projections that 2009 is going to see a growth, so that is something to consider as well.
At the moment there is a report saying that UK housing prices are going to fall by 13,000 pounds in the next four years, which will end the housing surge that has been going on since the mid nineties. For many the falling housing prices are going to be seen as bad news, but of course this is always good news for investors and those looking to purchase a home.
