Appendix A1 Further property price informationAppendix A1 Further property price informationA1.1 IntroductionThis Chapter provides further detail in support of the housing market analysis set out in Chapter 5.It contains information on prices obtained from the analysis of Land Registry property price data,and explains the methodology and approach used in our survey of local estate agents.The estate agent survey is a key step in assessing minimum and average property prices inWestminster but only provides limited information concerning price difference within the City, anddoesn’t shed light on the prices relative to other Local Authorities in the region.We can look at the wider context of prices in the surrounding areas, and also the differencesbetween areas within Westminster, using information available from the Land Registry. This data isvaluable in giving further background to the local housing market, although it does not displace theneed for the estate agent information.A1.2 Reasons for housing market studyThe level of market prices and rents is a key factor in this study for two main reasons:(i) Market prices and rents indicate the cost of market housing in Westminster. A major reasonfor government interest in prices is to address the needs of households that cannot affordthis cost. Hence the existence of social rented housing and low-cost home ownershipoptions. Thus it is important to establish the entry levels to both home ownership andprivate renting.(ii) The price/rent information indicates the contours of the housing market in Westminster.This is important for the Council when considering not only the level of subsidy required toproduce new social rented and other non-market priced housing, but also the degree towhich it should attempt to manage the new-build market in accordance with governmentguidance.This chapter is devoted to identifying the first of the above elements: the cost of housing.PAGE 165
