I did a term paper on the effects of the UK Housing Market and interest rates with specific look at the problems that the UK faces in its compatibility with EMU; the problem it would face with the loss of monetary policy. Most of the stuff I have is prob too much about EMU but these two sites is where I got the majority of information from: http://www.statistics.gov.uk - ONS Homepage with mountains of stats on this http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/ - Lots of stuff here that discusses housing in the UK, its heavy on EMU but prob still relevant. |

One thing i just remembered - The Miles Review. Was a review of housing finance. Its suggestion was to encourage greater use of fixed interest rate mortgages. Most of Europe has lower home ownership than the UK and the mortgages tend to be fixed rate, not fixed in UK sense of 1-5 years but fixed for the full duration of the mortgage, which would reduce the effects of interest rate changes on the disposable income of homeowners and increase the ability of the UK economy to absorb economic shocks. Ultimately, making EMU a viable prospect. |
