Residential Property

Many would maintain that it investment is about "time in", not "timing".

The credit crisis is putting that theory to a pretty strong test.

We acknowledge that it is a very dangerous thing to generalise about residential property pricing trends, and that local factors can often override national trends.

In that context however, it is our belief that the current credit crisis and the associated likely rise in unemployment and necessary deleveraging, poses an interesting mix of opportunity and threat for those contemplating critical timing decisions with residential property.

You may find these extracts and their associated source documents, interesting to contemplate.
