UK Property - Country houses show positive price growth across the United Kingdom for the first time in over two years

The price of prime country properties in now increasing across the country as the recovery that started in London during spring 2009 continues to spread further into the regions.

The Gautrain, currently under construction will not only change the commuting habits of thousands of Gauteng residents, but also where they choose to live. It is anticipated that around the Tswhane and Midrand areas, new interest could be injected into some of the under-capitalised suburbs.

House prices declined marginally in nominal terms in 2009 compared with 2008, according to the latest calculations by Absa. Prices declined in the first half of 2009, but started to rise on a month-on-month basis since May.
