UK house prices wealth effect once more proved to be the MOST accurate forecaster for the outcome of UK general elections i.e. April house prices data implied 342 Tory seats, which far more reliable when compared to the a range of forecast expectations primarily by pollster based analysts that extended 375 seats just prior to polling day.

UK House prices analysis based on April data:

Whilst house prices data for May released on the 7th June implied just 334 Tory seats! By far the most accurate predictor. So house prices's analysis should be tasked as being of primary importance ahead of ALL other analysis. Therefore getting an accurate gauge of house prices trend and momentum going into polling day is the key towards arriving at an accurate election forecast conclusion, everything else should be secondary.
