Markets have a big impact on the economy of any country. In the United Kingdom, one of the main markets that effects its economy is the housing market. According to FTI Consulting LLP (“FTI”) (2012) housing is of intrinsic importance to the economy and society. Housing has a dual role as: a human need, through its functional use as somewhere to live and the influence of its attributes on people’s well-being; and an asset, given that for many it is a long term investment which represents a large proportion of their wealth. The housing market is divided into two main types, the first type of housing market is known as the rental market where tenants rent properties from landlords (Anderton, 2008). The second type of housing market is the owner-occupied market where people buy a property in order to live in it (ibid). In recent years, several non-price factors have led to the increase of property prices in the United Kingdom. These factors are subcategorized into non-price factors of demand and supply. According to Anderton in Economics (2008) “demand is the quantity of goods and services that will be bought at any given price over a period

Traditional agriculture requires massive forest and grassland removal to obtain land necessary to farm on. Deforestation and overgrazing has caused erosion flooding, and enabled the expansion of deserts. But with drainage systems, leveling, and irrigation provided by the Green Rev, all this terra deforming will unlikely happen again. We can retain clean air and lessen the global warming effect caused by deforestation.Many people argue that a revamp in agriculture will be way too expensive and unrealistic especially for those poor farmers in third world countries. However many times, they exaggerate the price.

Apparently McLaughlin did not think so and felt that by the action of Mr. Heikklia by changing the cost of parcels mean that they were without a “meeting of the minds.” There was no deal since the land transaction was not in writing.

The 2002 Act aims to make the register more comprehensive and to pave the way for the introduction of electronic conveyancing (in a few years)[1]. It is also concerned with developing the concept of an open register for the public and requires registration of title whenever land is transferred or given to its first legal mortgagee. There are a broad variety of rights, which may bind land, and it is recognised that these rights can cause difficulties in the dealing of land. It was recognised in the 1925 legislation that the aspect of third party rights or interests which was an area of complexity.

Developers have been buying up farmland and turning it into shopping centers, business offices and factories. However several states have set up programs to protect farmland. These programs help farmers sell their land to other farmers. These states, they have also been giving farmers different ways to make their land more profitable. The problem is farmers are still selling their land. Businesses have the money to buy the land from the farmers. The big businesses can offer the farmers far more money for their land then any other farmer, or even the government. This gives the businesses the upper hand.
When prices increase, the quantity decrease (Graph 1) and new firms enter the market in order to make economic profits. However this does not mean the real estate agents or brokers earn more money. On the contrary, the prices they charge may increase, but the number of houses each sell do not change (Goolsbee, 2005, Online). From this it is evident that the price of products in the real estate market is not affected by the entry of new firms.
