Luxury
homes - property prices
The number of properties selling
for more than £1m fell by just over a quarter
during the first six months of 2005, the Halifax
bank has said. Sales of seven-figure homes stood at
1,508 in the first half of the year compared with
2,033 during the same period last year. London saw
by far the biggest fall in £1m-plus property
sales followed by the south east, south west and
East Anglia. The fall reflects a general slowdown
in the UK property market, Halifax said. But
overall, sales of £1m properties have proved
more resilient to the slowing housing market than
less expensive property Hardy market "Nationally
the uppermost sector of the residential property
market has held up relatively well with the 26%
fall in sales of £1m properties comparing with
a 36% decline in total house sales between the
first halves of 2004 and 2005," Martin Ellis, chief
economist at the Halifax said. Sales of £1m
homes accounted for just 0.4% of all properties
that changed hands during the period, and even in
the high price London market they accounted for
just 2% of total sales. One out of every three
homes that sold for more than £1m was in
either Kensington and Chelsea or Westminster during
the six months. Halifax estimates that there are
around 53,400 £1m-plus properties across the
UK - up from 3,400 in 1995. In London there are
around 33,000 £1m-plus homes, compared with
2,600 in 1995.
