A recent survey of 200 people by The Mortgage Lender revealed that 37% of people questioned believed house prices would increase over the next 3 months. 23% believe prices will fall and 29% believe they will stay the same. The other 11% did not know.
From the survey it would appear that people in Scotland are most positive about price increases (54%) with people in the South East (36%) less positive. This follows the trend though and prices are expected to rise in the North as it tends to lag behind the South in terms of cycles.
