Purpose
The purpose of this report is to analyse how the property price is soaring and it’s pushing local people to leave due to the expensive living cost, but at the same time the fact that London is considered for most of foreign workers the best place to work out of their country.
Preamble
The increase in property price brought as a consequence the phenomenon of local migration. Over the last 10 years house price escalation has reached the maximum peak

London it’s popular for a unique characteristic: is the most cosmopolitan city in the world (source…..). This fascinating fact it’s one of the factor that is pushing foreign workers to leave their country to move to London. Therefore, a better income is a crucial factor in this debate. Many companies are paying a relatively conspicuous wage for their workers, which they require a certain level of qualification of skills, such as BNP Paribas, Facebook, SAP, EMC, McKinsey & Company, Google, Nomura International, Cisco Systems. (source: Rodionova Z., Independent, 2016)
Based on these data the major industry covered by skilled foreign workers are banking, tech and consulting, with tech being the most remunerative industry with a median total compensation of 90000£ and a median base salary of 75000£. (source……)
The principal 5 countries where the migrants are from, in order of migrant’s amount in London, are China, Spain, India, Australia and Poland (source Telegraph)

Fixed jobs, Huws says, though fading, will always have a presence because close proximity to a place will always hold priority in some industries, such as a cleaning or delivery business. The author uses his street in London to demonstrate that
As a result of the housing boom from 2005 to 2008 this had caused prices of houses to increase around 30% within that time and I don’t think that employment incomes went up that amount. This has caused hardship in many people’s lives that have overextended themselves as well as made themselves house poor. With house prices rising up, it has made it difficult for people to be able to find affordable adequate housing to rent or to purchase. This has caused investment properties to increase in price which has also affected the
However wages are low but this doesn’t affect people who live here, as housing is considerably cheaper then the rest of the UK despite where it’s situated. This also means that people can buy more for their money and a standard 4-bedroom house will be relatively cheaper then if you were to buy one in Bath for example!
In today’s current market, according to the salary structure survey performed by WorldAtWork and Deloitte Consulting LLP (October 2012), the
The area has highly been affected by the raising taxes and other property values. The homeowners have had difficulties in buying and living in these houses because of the increased taxes. This is because the property values have gone high due to the demand causing increase in taxes. This rise is usually extended to the tenants by the landlords and they find themselves vacating the houses due to high rents. The landlords might sometimes be unable to pay the tax leading to a sell of the houses.
However, a highly affected area of gentrification, in turn with living situations, is the suffering of local businesses. The appeal of gentrified neighborhoods has raised commercial rents to the point where small-scale tenants cannot afford to pay them, even at a steady profit. This situation has many titles, but most appropriately it has been named hyper gentrification. It is described as a mature stage during gentrification when not only are residents displaced, but, when commercial real reaches a market value difficult for anyone but a national or global corporation to pay, forcing businesses to also be displaced. It has the same benefit as displacing a common resident would in the end, higher profit for the larger owner (Ehrenhalt,
Gentrification. More than a word but a statement that there is something new in town. A statement that allows one to see that there would be changes that will tear some families down but build some up. It had originated during times where blacks had been moving up on the ladder and was not wanted. Around the 1960’s there had been powerful upgrowing black businesses that many do not know today due to gentrification. Many things have kept culture alive in the district during the times of gentrification such us the music but things that people love. Teenagers and adults all over the globe, but mainly in the district have felt the empowerment and movements of Muhammad Ali. A man who had been more than a boxer, someone who fought in the ring and his people.
Since middle and upper classes are moving into these areas, it causes the price of surrounding houses to increase. In this
Two economic factors affect supply in a stable housing market, price of related goods or similar houses, and the price of the good, best represented by style or size in the case of the housing market. The affluence of a community typically determines how much homes sell for in those communities, and therefore communities where a lot of people want to live become areas where average home prices are high. (Kumar, 1) There is little space in these affluent communities, and therefore little supply. A good example is New York City, where no homes are available, only apartment buildings, and very few apartments are actively exchanged each year.
This article discusses the gap in wages between low and high skilled jobs in the developed world. The authors argue that changes in technology and globalization appear to be the driving forces behind job polarization. They go on to say
In conclusion to this paper, since expo 86 there has been a vast inflow of immigration that has caused housing demand to rise within major cities, Vancouver being show in this as the worst possible case. Immigration at these massive amounts can cause people to go to the more popular areas adding to the city's/provinces overall population. When looking at the difference between Vancouver and Toronto you can see the same trend that is occurring, the higher inflow of people immigrating to Canada resulting in higher housing costs. These markets have seen a questionable rise in what should be considered a short period, stemming back to expo 86. Foreign money has no doubt been a cause to this crisis as people in Vancouver are saying, however, it is how
Multiple reasons exist for the the lack of affordable housing. On the demand side these include population growth and increased migration to urban areas, easily accessible housing finance, tax incentives and a “strong cultural preference for owner-occupied detached houses”. On the supply side, affordability problems are exacerbated by inflexible and slow responses to the need for new housing stock, lack of infrastructure and generally inefficient planning processes and development assessment by local governments.
During the Great Recession, we have seen property taxes and the housing market bubble decline substantially. During this down turn of housing prices and decrease in taxes we saw a drop in the revenue that is created by property taxes. Property tax helps to pay for a majority of public services but most importantly our K-12th grade education system. It also helps fund parks, police and fire department services as well. During this period of down turn there was not a raise in taxes causing the states to increase spending cuts and to use more federal monies and their rainy day funds. Because of this lack of revenue coming from property tax and housing bubble it caused the local governments budgets to be impacted negatively. By examining how
High Density is said to be the future of residential housing, although not everyone agrees to this way of thinking.
