Rating agency predicts double dip for UK property

Landlords that are considering ramping up their investments may want to consider the prospect of a double dip in house prices suggested by some economists.

Whilst house prices have rebounded strongly on the back of historically low interest rates some experts suggest that high unemployment and a continued constrained lending conditions could resort in further falls in UK house prices.

This is the view of one rating agency, Fitch Ratings that expect UK house prices to come down by nearly a third from their peak seen in 2007 before showing a return to sustainable growth.
