Namely these will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2016\/12\/02\/two-thirds-property-investors-think-manchester-best-place-invest\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2017\/11\/20\/fastest-place-to-sell-property-in-uk-not-london\/\">Edinburgh<\/a> and Birmingham.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester for example, the report points out, has experienced low levels of supply over the last couple of years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2016\/11\/08\/manchester-sells-property-two-weeks-faster\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pushing up prices and rents in return<\/a> and little relief is expected for the year to come. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Edinburgh, the market for suburban family homes is seen strong demand as well as Build to Rent in the city centre and further down towards Leith. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2017\/01\/16\/londons-property-market-says-no-birmingham-will-welcome\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Birmingham<\/a>, the recent beneficiary of the first big Housing Growth Fund investment into 2,000 new homes, is also getting more attention after being overshadowed by Manchester for the last couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Legislative changes, such as stamp duty, and the uncertainty around Brexit have led to weaker investment demand from overseas as well as domestic buyers. Alongside an overstretched owner occupier market, this will keep a lid on price pressure,&#8221; said Andrew Frost, leader director of UK residential at JLL.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;At the same time, build costs will see significant inflation as the devalued pound sterling hits imports while the Mayor of London has continued to push for bigger affordable housing contributions. As a result, in contrast with the nearly 24,000 homes built in London during 2015, 2017 levels are expected to fall back closer to 16,000.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The challenges for the Mayor to use public land, planning and investment to stimulate supply are steep. There is much to be encouraged by so early on in his tenure, but his oft-used phrase of it\u2019s a marathon, not a sprint is only too true. A strong, stable political backdrop for housing policy aligned with the creation of the new London Plan and Government White Paper will be an important handrail for an industry in need of guidance,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"prRMNYNDrK\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2017\/01\/30\/property-investment-qa-4-i-invest-area-i-dont-know\/\">Property Investment Q&#038;A #4: Should I invest in an area I don\u2019t know?<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Property Investment Q&#038;A #4: Should I invest in an area I don\u2019t know?&#8221; &#8212; BuyAssociation Group\" src=\"https:\/\/www.buyassociationgroup.com\/en-gb\/2017\/01\/30\/property-investment-qa-4-i-invest-area-i-dont-know\/embed\/#?secret=3sLCS0vsfc#?secret=prRMNYNDrK\" data-secret=\"prRMNYNDrK\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>The report basically calls 2017 the year of \u201cproptech\u201d, as 2017 will be the year in which innovative techniques will be used more broadly in residential construction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018With a shrinking and destabilised workforce, the need to go off-site will become ever more critical and the first big steps will take place in 2017.
