Beast from the East, Russia, Facebook, Brexit, Trump, House prices up, House prices down ... the Press is full of column inches on Brit’s favourite subjects of politics, scandal, weather and not forgetting ( and I appreciate the irony of this! ) the property market. As an agent belonging a national group of letting and estate agents, talking to my fellow property professionals from around the UK, the one thing that is immediately apparent is the UK does not have one property market.

In fact, house prices dropped between 15% and 20% depending on the type of Clapham property between the end of 2007 and Spring 2009. However, over the last five years, we have seen
