The Christmas Bonuses Properties

February 08, 2007  10:00:20 AM (746 Reads)

The property price boom is seen as both a blessing and a curse, depending on which side of the property divide you are on. For those people with property and those who sell property, the boom is definitely a blessing as their assets are on the increase.
The property price boom is seen as both a blessing and a curse, depending on which side of the property divide you are on. For those people with property and those who sell property, the boom is definitely a blessing as their assets are on the increase. However, for those who don’t have property, but want it, it is a curse. For most of those people who are looking to get into the property market for the first time there is little chance of being able to find affordable property. This doesn’t stop many first time buyers though as many simply extend themselves further than is advisable to get the home they want.

For many buyers, the many different loan schemes that are available make the actual buying of a home seem more achievable. The greatest problems come in after the purchase when repayments need to be made. If you could just buy the house outright without those repayments then your situation would be far better. There are a growing number of people who are able to just buy a piece of property outright just using their Christmas bonus. This ability is one of the major factors that have been driving the meteoric rise in house prices, particularly in London.

Since the people who earn bonuses of the size that allow property purchases already own property it just reduces the amount of property available without reducing demand for property. The size of Christmas bonuses, particularly in large London based professional organisations, is increasing every year. This means that the bonuses more than keep up with the increases in property prices. This allows repetition of the cycle each year, which keeps the demand for property high above the supply.

This is particularly evident where people receive bonuses so large that they can afford to buy multiple properties with one bonus. This buying spree is motivated in turn by the increase in property prices which provide a very good return on the investment. Property will always be an asset, regardless of the exact state of the economy. It is also being motivated by the ease with which value can be reduced on other investments or cash savings. The universal need for property will never diminish and production of property is unlikely to outstrip demand. Having a ready source of cash to cover the purchase completely can also allow those buyers to be preferred when purchasing a property.

The effect of people buying property with their Christmas bonuses is being felt most in London. This is in turn having a knock-on effect on the rest of the country sending the property prices up, even in areas of less popularity. London is also the area where the largest number of people are entering the country and looking for homes. This leads to a continuously increasing demand, with very little supply due to a lack of space. The restricted area in which people are looking for property also drives prices higher due to the limited availability.
