The events of the past year have painted a bleak picture for the residential development industry, with large falls in sale prices and land values and a steep drop in market activity. However, the South Easthas been among the most resilient regions according to the major house price indices, prices dropped by between 15% and 20% in the year to the end of March 2009. In prime locations such as Guildford or Sevenoaks, the price falls have been less pronounced although transaction volumes are still markedly lower.
