New Homes Market - Which are the Top Performing Areas?
November was a surprisingly good month for developers. Property prices bounced back from October's lows to an average of £220,000.
Overall though, prices last November were around £218,000 and £220,000 in December 2009, so, as with the re-sale market, prices remain fairly stagnant year on year.

Snow Impact on Rental Market in December 2010
For many places outside of London and Southern 'hotspots', rental incomes started to stagnate a little as deals were done to get tenants in before Xmas and avoid voids over the cold period.
The biggest problem for landlords, tenants and letting agents however were not the usual disputes, voids or rental changes, but the snow!
