What does 2015 hold for the Aylesbury property investor?

If 2014 is anything to go on the property world looks pretty good. We had substantial capital growth through last year and increased rental returns, food and drink to investors. This year has a number of conflicting issues looming.
We can hardly miss the fact there is an election coming (usually a dampening effect on the property market), stamp duty changes have been implemented to most peoples benefit(positive), pension rules change in April (could release many new investors in to the market, drive prices up), lenders are keen to lend at unprecedented low rates (cheap money available to those with good deposits), high and rising employment levels reinforce consumer confidence. On balance the market looks good.
An inconclusive election result could have a negative impact and the European economy is unlikely to help us much. An interest rate rise before the election looks unlikely.
In summary if you are thinking of buying this year , right now is probably a good time to do so,before we see further price increases and while new stock is starting to arrive in the market place.
