TRENDS IN THE PROPERTY MARKET Ever since property prices in Britain began to rise in previously unseen rates, it has been predicted that they would eventually level off, allow more young couples to buy their own home. Unfortunately for those first-time buyers, though, the property market has been fuelled by single buyers as they scramble to get on the first step of the housing ladder. Soaring prices have meant that many prospective buyers, who have been saving for years, have reached the end of their tether as they can now no longer afford to buy the kind of property they had set their hearts on. The money they have been putting away is now simply adequate for their needs which means their efforts may have been in vein. To add insult to injury, it has been forecast by leading economists that this dramatic shift towards more and more people buying their own home is set to continue over the next twenty years. C.
