18 year property cycle

18 year property cycles going back 150 years

Property markets go in cycles.  Typically it’s an 18 year cycle, give or take one or two years.  These cycles go back at least 150 years in the UK.

By understanding how areas have managed in the last property crash and recovered from the crash…You can see which areas show the greatest promise for future capital growth assuming overall resiliency, long and short term growth.

Inflation adjusting data. 

If you bought a property in 1997 For £100,000 and the property went up in value exactly in line with inflation It would be worth £197,000 today. If this property was now worth £394,000 today, in real inflation adjusted terms it would have gone up in value by 100%.

If you bought another property in another area in 1997 for £100,000 and it was valued at £100,000 today, in real purchasing power terms it would have devalued by approximately 50%.

In this explainer video go through how to interpret the data. I also give some examples of areas which have done very well in capital growth and others which have declined severely.
