Well it's has been a difficult couple of years and until the general election is out of the way it is difficult to see how the housing market is shaping up.
As ever, before a general election (always held when we should be busiest) the market slows down, and this year is no exception. It is wholly understandable that people thinking about moving house hang on to see the outcome. They are all asking themselves, Will taxes be raised? What will happen to the stamp duty threshold? What will happen to HIPS? Questions all waiting to be answered before the public decided to splash out on a new house.
A recent investigation by one of the
The research going back to 1979 shows that a slump in transactions generally follows a good turnout, where as a low turnout stimulates the market. Your Move also found that when the Tories do well there is an increase in activity in the housing market.
I think that there is a little more to this and it’s a shame the research didn't take into account the economic situation at the time.
So for a good end to 2010 we need a low turnout and a Tory victory to get everyone moving again, let's wait and see.

I'd be interested to hear how you think the outcome of the election has affected the market. Has it made people sit on the fence just like the politics?
At last there appears to be some movement in the removal market, enquiries have picked up, just need the mortgage companies to slacken off a bit

Hasn't seemed to have made a huge difference...still a bit doom and gloom!!
This has been quite a tough 5 weeks for home moving i think we are in for a real dip this time.
Oh I think you have to take into account what's going on with the economy and the housing market to get a decent picture of what's going on, else how can you plan a business?
Your blog is certainly some food for though since the company I work for do Kensington Removals
I think the housing market was bound to be affected by the election. People don't want to make high risk investments when the future is not stable. There was talk of severe cuts even before the election took place, so I think it was the talk of cuts that discouraged people most rather than the election itself.
I think we have to pray for good politicians to get out of this slump. Other we will be down in a few months...

Definitely economic situation should be the first that should be taken into account so that there will be low turnout.So there is lot more to do in future for success.
