THE 10 EASIEST POSTCODES TO SELL PROPERTY
Article Courtesy of 'Timesonline'
Everybody knows that the housing market is struggling but a comparison of the Land Registry's figures for June 2008 with previous years indicate just how bad things have got.
In June 2006 there were 124,000 homes sold in England and Wales.
In June 2007 there were 105,000 properties sold. (A drop of 15 per cent)
So far, just 17,681 sales have been recorded in June this year. (A drop of 83 per cent)
The sales figure for June is likely to edge higher over the coming months because solicitors have up to three months to register completed sales but even so, it is clear that home sales have fallen off a cliff.
With the housing market slowing like this it is no wonder then that 100 estate agents a week are closing. With less than one in five properties selling and an average marketing cost of £300 each, the rate of closure is only likely to accelerate.
An in-depth analysis of the Land Registry figures indicates that no part of England or Wales is immune from the slowdown. However, there remain wide regional variations. Here are the ten postcodes that registered the highest number of sales in June
1.CV6 (Coventry): 44
2. CR0 (Croydon): 40
3. S6 (Sheffield): 36
4. BN3 (Hove): 35
5. SW19 (Wimbledon): 35
6. BN1(Brighton): 34
7. E14 (Poplar): 34
8. ST5 (Newcastle-under-Lyme): 34
9. FY8 (Lytham Saint Annes): 33
10. SG2 (Stevenage)
However, even sellers in these towns have no great reason to celebrate. Total sales in every one of these postcodes are still dramatically lower than the same time last year. For example, Croydon may be the second busiest postcode in the UK but it June last year it registered 306 sales.
Remarkably, there were more than 1000 postcodes (out of 2851) where no sales were recorded in June.
[Well done if you live in Brighton or Hove!]

Brighton Festival of World Sacred Music 12-19th October
Brighton Festival of World Sacred Music who are based at the Old Steyne site, has just been awarded £20,000 by Arts Council England, South East, towards new initiatives in this year’s Festival, which will take place 12-19 October 2008.
|
A large part of the grant will fund a new collaboration with Brighton-based environmental arts group Red Earth to create a week-long installation of sound and space on the South Downs.
|
Musicians from diverse faiths - Sufi, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish and Christian - will take part in this unique cross-cultural event that will incorporate performances each evening at dusk.
This year’s Festival is on the theme ‘East’ and will feature Japanese Buddhist Monks, Indian Kathakali dance drama, Sufi Whirling Dervishes, Chinese devotional music, Jewish Sephardic song and the award-winning London Bulgarian Choir.
BMC continues to support the Festival, now in its 5th year, which aims to bring people of all faiths - and none - together through music. If you are interested in becoming a business partner and benefiting from our sponsorship package please contact Kate Whyman on 01273 648374 or email kate@worldsacredmusic.org
You can find out more about the Festival, and join the mailing list at: www.worldsacredmusic.org
Sponsorship Appeal!
Lorenza Ippolito who works at the Brighton Media Centre and her group 'Light Motives' is a group of exhibited, award-winning and published photographers. They have already undertaken three shows together over the past two years in Brighton and London, resulting in significant connections with the photographic community throughout the South East of England.
They are now seeking financial support to create their 4th exhibition.
From October 2008, Brighton will once again host the highly regarded Photo Biennal. Light Motives will be participating in the Fringe Festival with an exhibition entitled 'Battleground', to be shown at the Brighton Media Centre Friese Greene Gallery.
'Battleground' forms the context from which the group will look at the nature of conflict in its sociological, cultural, philosophic and historical framework. Each of them will respond individually to the Biennial's theme, "Memory of Fire - The War of Images and the Images of War." At the same time a unique vision will emerge from the jointly conceived theme. Work so far created ranges from images of exiled Tibetan nuns to fortified English landscapes.
They hope that you will consider this as an ideal opportunity to connect with the photographic community not only locally but nationally. This would be a perfect opportunity for Companies within the Brighton Media Centre to network with photographers and use their services. In return all the groups publicity material such as flyers and posters will display your Company logo.
If any one or Company is interested in sponsoring the group please contact Lorenza on 07760 123623 or email lorenzaippolito@hotmail.com
