PM and the property market

15th July 2016

A study of the residential property market under different prime ministers since 1955 shows that David Cameron’s tenure saw a 3..2% rise in the average house price. The study from Neal Hudson, associate director of research at Savills, shows that the average value of a home in London is now 39% higher than when Mr Cameron took office in 2010. Tony Blair takes the top slot in the Savills' league, with the average price of a home up 136.8% between 1997 and 2007, while there was a 14.3% decline during Gordon Brown's term.
