Moneynet reports homeowners enjoy modest house price inflation in April

Author: Moneynet


• Overall average property value for April was £208,854
• The average value of a property for a First Time Buyer (FTB) was £194,961
• Users looking to re-mortgage valued their property at an average of £251,919

There was more evidence of a market-bucking trend for property owners in the higher rate tax bracket* from the latest Moneynet (http://www.moneynet.co.uk) house price data survey.

House prices showed a slight increase last month (April) for Moneynet-user homeowners. Values edged up from £205,518 in March to a healthy £208,854 in April, according to Moneynet (www.moneynet.co.uk) research.

The survey – which reflects the values of property owners who enjoy salaries well above the national average – points to a return to gentle house price inflation in the month preceding the General Election.

“April’s modest rise in values is more encouraging than the most recent Halifax house price survey. Many of our users are in London and the South-east and other surveys also suggest that prices in the capital are recovering after several months of barely any movement,” said Moneynet chief executive Richard Brown.

Average property values for visitors to the Moneynet site – in common with many of those who regularly use the internet for financial information and transactions – are higher than for those on the national average wage.

But Richard Brown said that the survey should be seen as a key tool for charting house price trends for the UK’s higher earners.

“Moneynet can also provide a detailed breakdown of the different categories of mortgage lending – whatever the combinations – favoured by consumers on a month by month basis.”

Note from the publisher


As you may know, I have a very deep passion for real estate and mortgages.  In fact, this website is a true labor of love for me.  

As publisher, one my many duties is to review the many books, programs and courses about real estate and mortgages that are on the market today.  I’ll be honest with you.  Most of them are garbage.  (Although I do strongly recommend the programs in the “Must Have” box above). 

But, let me tell you, when I came upon the following headline, I new I found a winner…

“Learn How To Quickly Build At Least $40,000 Worth Of Home Equity And Pay Your Mortgage Off In 10 Years Or Less” -Without Making Biweekly Mortgage Payments-Or Changing Your Current Mortgage.

Now, the reason I knew it was a winner was because of the name behind the headline.  Craig Romero.  Many consider Craig to be one of the true geniuses in our field.  I have a lot of respect for him, and I urge you to drop what you are doing right now and click the link below...
