In 2021 house prices surged at an unprecedented rate. Indeed, they have only been higher in comparison to earnings twice<\/a> in the last 175 years. As such, it seems prudent to consider whether this growth can be sustained in 2022 or whether a pullback is likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, firstly, how did we reach the current state of play in\nthe property market?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pent-up demand from an industry which was forcibly shut down by the Covid-19 pandemic, competitive mortgages, low interest rates and Government incentives such as the stamp duty tax reduction, the furlough scheme and the mortgage guarantee scheme all played their part as both house prices<\/a> and property transactions rose at a meteoric rate from July 2020 onwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 saw an overall price rise of 8.5% and in October 2021, the average house price was \u00a3268,349<\/a> according to official Land Registry data, up 10.2% in 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But can this price rise continue in 2022 and beyond? We look back at the most significant UK house price crashes over the last 100 years and consider the patterns which have emerged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2008 financial\ncrash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The biggest fall in UK house prices in recent memory was brought about by the financial crash of 2007-2009, which occurred as a result of deregulation in the financial industry and mortgage brokers in particular. Indeed, 2008 saw the biggest recession since World War II, with house prices dropping significantly from the previous bubble of 2000-2007 (which saw an average property price rise from \u00a3100,000 to \u00a3225,000). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to the Office for National Statistics, the average UK house price dropped by 15% from January 2008 to May 2009. Unfortunately unlike the recent \u2018bounce back\u2019 after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, in the wake of the 2008 financial crash properties did not achieve their pre-crash values until 2012 at the earliest. Indeed, property prices in Durham<\/a> and Hartlepool<\/a> in the Northeast of England are still yet to return<\/a> to pre-2008 levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recession\nof the early 1990s <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 1989 and the early 1990s the western world experienced\nanother period of economic downturn thanks to the US savings and loan crisis,\nrestrictive monetary policies introduced by banks and building societies to\ncurb inflation, the end of the Cold War and the 1990 oil crisis in the wake of Iraqi\u2019s\ninvasion of Kuwait. In the UK, house prices had also seen an artificial increase\nas a result of prospective homebuyers rushing to purchase property prior to the\nwithdrawal of the MIRAS tax relief option in August 1988. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of these issues in turn had a knock-on effect on consumer\nand business confidence and rising interest rates which resulted in a fall in house\nprices of 20% between 1989 and 1993. Properties in London were the\nworst hit, with an eyewatering reduction in value of 32%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly \u2013 unlike the aftermath of the 2008 financial\ncrisis \u2013 current house price trends have also seen the capital miss out, with London\nexperiencing the lowest annual growth (6.2%<\/a> as of\nOctober 2021) of all UK regions. In contrast the biggest price spikes have\noccurred not in the pricey southeast of England, but in more rural, affordable regions\nsuch as the northwest of England, Wales and Yorkshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mid-1970s<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite a boom\nin homeownership and rapid property price growth from 1971-73 which saw the UK\nexperience what was arguably its first housing bubble in 1973, the decade also saw\nwidespread political and social unrest. The 1973 oil crisis and Yom Kippur War between\nIsrael and a coalition of Arab states and the industrial action of coalminers\nand railway workers at home which led to the infamous \u2018three day week\u2019 all resulted\nin a lengthy recession from 1973-1975. This saw house prices become stagnant as\nhigh unemployment and high inflation occurred in tandem. Although things did\npick up again in the 1980s, with prices rising an impressive 16% and 25%\nrespectively in 1987 and 1988. (Although this was not to last as we have seen\nabove).   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1950s <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

House prices in\nthe post\u2013World War II era of the 1950s declined by a hefty 7% (in real terms),\none of the most significant declines of the past 70 years. This was thanks to the\nnation\u2019s first downturn since the Great Depression of the 1920s. Following a\nhouse-building boom in the 1940s and early 1950s, by 1956 the UK was\nexperiencing both economic and political setbacks. Namely increased inflation,\nunfavourable bank rates and the Suez Crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great\nDepression of the 1920s<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Whilst not as\nbadly hit as the United States, where property prices had plummeted by around\n35% by 1932, the UK did experience a brief recession from 1921-22 which had a\nknock-on effect on house prices. Between 1926 and the outbreak of World War II\nthe average UK house price only increased by \u00a340 from \u00a3619 to \u00a3659. In\ncontrast, the average house price rose from \u00a32,000 to \u00a35,000 between 1950 and\n1970 and doubled between 1970 and 1973. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, Prior to 1920<\/a> only a small percentage of around 25%\nof the UK population owned rather than rented their homes. The vast majority\nrented from private landlords until the introduction of subsidies for local\nauthorities to build council houses via the 1919 Housing Act. Home ownership itself\ndid not become popular until the latter part of the 20th<\/sup> century,\nwith nearly 75% of the population owning their own homes by 2000. This figure\nhas decreased somewhat in the intervening years (hitting 63% in 2018) as many first-time\nbuyers have been priced out of the market by hefty deposits and house prices,\nwhich hit eight times earnings as of 31 December 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what do these previous house price crashes tell us? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Given the timings of the house price crashes we have\nexperienced in more recent years, some industry experts have pointed towards the\n18-year property cycle<\/a>, first\nidentified by the British economist Fred Harrison, whereby the property market\nfollows a sequence of events linked to the global economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we consider the property crashes of the early nineties and 2008 for example, according to the 18-year property cycle theory, we should therefore expect to see a continued period of growth now prior to a pullback in 2026<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst this is possible, estimates of a more conservative house price growth in 2022 and the intervening years from the likes of Savills (who forecast a 3.5% rise in 2022 and 15% overall to 2026) suggest that the property cycle is likely to have been expedited somewhat as a result of the unexpected Covid-19 pandemic. Buyers are also likely to feel more cautious going forward as Government incentives come to an end and the economy is still in a state of recovery and uncertainty around Covid-19 and Brexit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, further\ntax rises<\/a> are due to come into play in the next\nfew years and interest rates also rose in December 2021 for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic began in\nan effort to quell rising inflation, suggesting that we are likely to see house\nprice growth flatten out in 2022 rather than continue its meteoric rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike previous house price crashes when rates for borrowing were high and the property industry became a buyers\u2019 market thanks to a surplus of housing stock, the availability of competitive rates from mortgage<\/a> providers and shortage in supply versus demand that we are seeing today means that we are also unlikely to see quite the same decline in house prices and resultant fallout for homeowners as experienced in the wake of the 2008 financial crash if we continue on the same trajectory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the consequences\nof the recent Omicron variant remains to be seen, housing demand has certainly\nremained constant in recent months as homebuyers continue<\/a> to prioritise more space and less urban\nlocales.  <\/p>\n\n\n
