House Prices Rise - Sunday 17 January

House prices have risen for 6 consecutive months according to the Halifax House Price Index (HPI) team in their latest statistics running up to December 2009.  The government's own statistics confirm a similar trend.

Furthermore, the normally pessimistic Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) also reports that a survey of members showed optimism for house price increases.

Whilst an increase in property prices is great news for homeowners, if you are wanting to get onto the property ladder then it is going to make life harder for you if you are still saving up for a deposit or waiting to be eligible for a mortgage.

Try House has a solution for you...  Agree to buy a house at today's price and rent it whilst saving up for your deposit.  You can treat the house as if it were your own, and what's more - you will fully benefit from the increases in house prices because you will have fixed the price today such that when you buy (in a few years' time) you will already have made a profit.

Our scheme is very attractive - we will even match any savings you put away towards buying the property!
