• UK house-building hits post-financial crisis high
  〔REUTERS〕Britain built the largest number of new homes since the global financial crisis during the year to the end of March, annual figures showed on Tuesday, as the economy picked up and the government took steps to tackle Britain's housing shortage. A net 189,650 new homes were created in the 12 months to March 2016, up 11 percent from the same period in a year earlier and the highest since 223,530 extra dwellings were created in the 12 months to the end of March 2008.

• European Property Investors Look Beyond London
  “London can still offer long-term value,” says Richard Gwilliam, head of property research at London-based M&G Real Estate. But many investors are looking elsewhere, including other U.K. cities like Birmingham or Manchester, or other countries that were slower to recover from the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent euro crisis, he says.
