I've read this interesting article on www.GoArticles.com and thought I should post it on my website, for my UK readers, to help them when coming to evaluating, considering and making decisions of where to invest in Real Estate between UK and Florida...

Title: UK House Prices Still Rising

Author: James Quinton

Article:
Despite widespread feeling that house prices were, at last,
slowing, new figures released by the country's biggest mortgage
lender Halifax, suggest that house prices, are in fact, still
rising on the back of a strong economy and shortage of homes for
sale.

Prices rose by 1% in March taking the average house price to
£194,362. All parts of the UK have seen an increase in house
prices most notably Northern Ireland, once the second cheapest
place to live in the UK, have seen house prices rise by 76%
since the beginning of 2005, making it now one of the most
expensive places to buy property in the UK.

With prices creeping above the reach of many first time buyers
some lenders have reacted by offering a previously unprecedented
forty or even fifty-year mortgages, commenting that the
twenty-five year standard was no longer relevant and that many
first-time buyers who are in their twenties would not be
retiring until they were in their early seventies. They also
claim these <a

offer greater flexibility, although some would also add, greater
interest payments.

This development comes after Abbey announced that it would offer
some customers five times their annual salary rather than the
usual three or four.

With now over a decade of booming house prices these
developments in mortgage lending offer some hope to first time
buyers eager to get on the much vaunted property ladder. It may
also come as a relief to the parents of first time buyers who
have been assisting their children with deposits and even
helping with <a
href="http://www.moneysupermarket.com/mortgages/">mortgage</a>
repayments and in some cases re-mortgaging their own properties
to help their children on to the property ladder.

Halifax and Nationwide note that there are emerging signs that
finally house prices may start to slow at the end of the year.
