The Property Market Monthly Fact File<\/a><\/h2>\n

The property market fact file is a collection of data compiled each month by our Chartered Surveyors and the propertysurveying.co.uk<\/a> team; collating survey data, statistics, trends and information from the property market. This aims to provide a single place where anyone with an interest in UK property can find the information they need.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If a deal seems to be too good to be true, then it probably is – protecting your property from title fraud<\/a><\/h2>\n

What would you do if you spotted your own home for sale on Rightmove? If you own, or are in the process of buying a home, you could potentially become a victim of property title fraud.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s some advice on how to avoid it.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n
\n

How to buy property at auction<\/a><\/h2>\n

Purchasing property at auction can be a risky business but it is also a really good way of securing a competitive property investment.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more to it than just waving your hand …<\/span><\/p>\n

A surveyors guide to – Garden Walls<\/a><\/h2>\n

Garden and boundary walls should be inspected regularly to see if repairs are necessary, or whether a wall needs to be rebuilt. Such walls are amongst the most common forms of masonry to suffer collapse, and one of the commonest causes of death by falling masonry.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Curry smells in the carpet is the reason for ban on ‘coloured’ tenants<\/a><\/h2>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcColoured\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 people, single mothers, battered wives and plumbers \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 what do they all have in common?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Nationwide takes on the ground rent scandal<\/a><\/h2>\n

An estimated forty per cent of new homes built by several of the UK’s big builders are sold on leasehold tenure. The failure of some estate agents and solicitors to bring potentially ruinous ground rents to the attention of purchasers has been widely criticised, but Nationwide Building Society has made a surprise move to protect its members.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Fuel poverty scheme extended to September 2018<\/a><\/h2>\n

Government statistics show that most fuel poor households are in privately rented accommodation and in the 16-24 age bracket. Older people are now much less likely to be fuel poor. Employment is also a significant factor, with 28 per cent of unemployed households being fuel poor.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Government is continuing to support its District Heating Network scheme but the Lambeth system has been fraught with issues.

And Finally….<\/h2>\n

Are the days of Titus Salt returning?<\/a><\/h2>\n

The Swedish retailer, Ikea, is so concerned that its Icelandic staff are unable to afford property in the capital, Reykjavik, that is is building an apartment block so that they have somewhere safe and affordable to live.<\/span><\/p>\n
