House Prices Rise due to Shortage
A shortage of houses on estate agents' books has pushed asking prices up by 0.6 per cent this month.
The average property put on the market during the five weeks to September 12 was priced at £223,996 – only 1.5 per cent less than in September 2008.
In some areas of the country asking prices are already higher than they were a year ago, with prices up 1.5 per cent in East Anglia and 0.4 per cent in the south-east, while in London they are down by 0.9 per cent.

Bayswater Sub Letting Crackdown
Labour Councillors have called on Westminster City Council to launch a crackdown on illegal sub-letting of council flats. With over 3,000 families on the waiting list and over 1,400 families waiting for a transfer to larger accommodation, Labour Councillors say that illegal sub-letting is creating real misery for local residents in housing need, while allowing unscrupulous tenants to rake in thousands of pounds a year in unearned and untaxed income.
Labour Councillors say that the rent for a 3 bedroom Council flat or house in Westminster is £114 a week but on the private rental market the property would command a rent of at least £550 a week in St John's Wood, Marylebone, Bayswater, Maida Vale and Pimlico, netting the illegal sub-letting over £22,600 a year.

Blairs to Profit From Connaught Square Property
With most house prices in a state of flux across the country, Tony and Cherie Blair have managed to make a profit - on paper - of more than £2 million out of the central London mansion in Connaught Square they controversially bought in 2004 using a loan paid off through Parliamentary expenses.
The Blairs spent £3.65 million on the 19th-century property in Bayswater, close to Hyde Park. Two years ago they also bought an adjoining mews house for £800,000, knocking down its walls to make one house. Estate agents now estimate the former prime minister's five-bedroom, three-bathroom house could be worth around £6.6 million, based on the recent sale of a neighbouring property.
In 2004 Blair re-mortgaged his constituency home in Trimdon, County Durham for a second time, in order to secure a £296,000 loan from Cheltenham & Gloucester. This helped pay for the £182,500 deposit on the Connaught Square property. Blair then claimed the loan interest on expenses.
Despite the volatile housing market, Connaught Village - as the area around the square, formerly called Tyburnia after the nearby place of execution, is now known - is still seen as a good buy by wealthy prospective buyers.
