«Breaking News» UK housing stock reaches record £729 TRILLION thanks to rising prices

The total value of the UK's housing stock reached a record £7.29 trillion in 2018, analysis has found.

Despite a slowdown in the housing market amid Brexit concerns, the total value of UK housing stock increased by £190.3 billion, real estate adviser Savills found.

The gains came from outside London, as the total value of its residential housing stock recorded a £26.2 billion fall - the first decrease since 2009.

London's housing stock is still worth £1.77 trillion - more than four times the combined value of homes in Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol, Liverpool, and Sheffield.

And the capital accounts for almost a quarter of UK housing value, compared with a fifth a decade ago.

Some £137.7 billion of the increase in the value of housing stock last year was due to house prices going up - equating to a £4,800 price increase per home.

While 72 per cent of the increase in the value of housing stock last year came from house price increases, the remaining 28 per cent - or £52.6 billion was due to new homes being built.

Savills said this is the the highest proportion contributed by new housing development since 2011 and reflects the Government focus on building more new homes.

Within the £7.29 trillion total, the collective value of the private rented sector topped £1.5 trillion for the first time.

Across the UK, in percentage terms, Wales was the region showing the biggest gains in the value of housing stock in 2018, with a 6.3 per cent increase adding £13.4 billion.

The East Midlands (6.2 per cent) and West Midlands (6.1 per cent) followed closely behind.

In cash terms, the value of stock in the South East saw the biggest increase across the UK last year, with £29.9 billion added on the back of growth of 2.2 per cent

'Our analysis demonstrates the scale of the housing market and underlines the importance of housing to the economies of London and the UK as a whole, both as an asset class and store of private wealth,' said Lawrence Bowles, residential research analyst at Savills.

He continued: 'As affordability becomes more stretched, younger households are having to put off buying their first home until later in life.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
