Industry = Real Estate

Press Release Summary = Those living under flightpaths should expect to see the
value of their properties fall significantly, one property company has warned.

Press Release Body = According to Jonathan Haward, the managing director of the
Country Homesearch Company, people living near airports with planes flying overhead
are likely to suffer should they need to sell their property.

He said that even houses not significantly affected by excessive noise from aircraft
had seen prices drop, although the effect seemed to be restricted to homes in the
countryside.

\"While the prices for properties under flightpaths in London and other major cities
are not seriously marked-down, houses in the country that are in the \'noise range\'
of flightpaths can be significantly cheaper,\" Mr Haward said.

\"I have known houses that lie within the range of Gatwick airport to be 30 per cent
cheaper than those where aircraft have climbed 7,000 ft to 10,000 ft or more and are
not a constant nuisance.\"

The problem is likely to become more important if planned expansions at airports
including Stansted get the go-ahead.

Julian King, director of the UK\'s leading fast purchase property company says, \"We
offer a quick solution for anyone experiencing problems selling their home.

\"We purchase any property, in any condition anywhere in the UK. The flightpath
scenario must also be adding time to the list of problems incurred. People needing
to sell their property quickly because being under the flightpath of a major
international airport is putting off buyers, can contact us for a formal cash offer
to purchase within days.\"
