As in previous recoveries house prices have risen but still remain below their pre-crisis peak in real terms in Scotland. As a result of increased confidence in the housing market, property transactions in Scotland were 21 per cent higher in 2013 than the lows seen in 2011. With the creation of the Financial Policy Committee, we now have the tools to guard against risks in the housing market.</p> answering member constituency Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey answering member printed Danny Alexander question first answered 16/07/2014 14:44:11 answering member 1535 label Biography information for Danny Alexander

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2014 answer text <p>The Scottish housing market is recovering alongside the rest of the Scottish economy. Changes in regional house prices will partly depend on regional factors supporting supply and demand. House prices in Scotland rose 4.8 per cent in the 12 months to April. In the same period, house prices across the UK rose by 9.9 per cent, and excluding London house prices in the UK rose 7 per cent. In real terms house prices remain well below their peak, and the Office for Budget Responsibility noted in March that they will still remain below this peak at the end of their forecast in 2018/19. With the creation of the Financial Policy Committee, we can ensure emerging risks and vulnerabilities across the financial system as a whole are identified, monitored and effectively addressed.</p> answering member constituency Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey answering member printed Danny Alexander question first answered 16/07/2014 14:46:18 answering member 1535 label Biography information for Danny Alexander previous answer version 10179 answering member constituency Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey answering member printed Danny Alexander answering member 1535 label Biography information for Danny Alexander
