May 5th 2008: In the past week, Halifax has confirmed that house prices are falling annually and Nationwide have introduced a special offer for first time buyers, which includes a £300 discount on the reservation fee, £100 discount on legal fees and no higher lending charges. This offer is available up to 95% loan to value.
April 30th 2008: Good news for first time buyers - House prices fell by 1% annually for the first time in ten years. However, when you consider that house prices are still 200% more expensive than 10 years ago, house prices still have much further to fall to correct the over-inflated housing market and enable healthier numbers of first time buyers to return.
April 23rd 2008: An interest rate hike looks likely amid raising inflation due to increasing food and petrol prices. This is a double blow for first time buyers. Firstly, increasing living costs stifle a first time buyer's chances of raising a sufficient deposit. Secondly, an increase in the base rate will trigger further rises in lenders' mortgage rates.
