Help us tell politicians what business really wants

Dear Mr Clark


Are you excited about the Election? I thought not...

It's difficult to feel really passionate or inspired about any of the main parties as they continue to politic. So it's even more important to make your choice on the basis of cold, hard logic and vote for the one with the best policies.

That's great in theory. But do you really know what each of the main parties is promising for business? Are you 100% sure which party offers the best policies for your business and the UK economy?

The Telegraph Business Club is supporting a partnership project run by Telegraph Media Group and eBay called 'Election 2010: the Battle for Business'. One of the tactics is to ask business leaders like you to 'blind taste' the policies of the three main parties to establish:

a) which party has the policies that are most popular with the business community.

b) what issues the three main parties need to focus on in this general election campaign.

The research results will be revealed in both the Daily and Sunday Telegraph in print and online, and the survey deadline has been extended to midnight on Tuesday 13th April.

Please help us tell the politicians what business wants. Take part in the survey today here.

And in case you needed any extra persuasion, we are offering all participants the chance to win a cash prize as a reward for taking part. The top prize is £250, with five further prizes of £50 for the runners-up. Best of luck!

Thank you in advance for taking part in this unique and valuable research - you may be surprised by what you discover!

Kind regards,



David Sumner Smith

House builders discuss 95% mortgages with lenders

So the house builders and the lenders have had a meeting to discuss how they can create 95% mortgages. Basically a good thing, as you would imagine most estate agents would say. But what proportion of the housing Market is represented by new homes sales to first time buyers? Also any first time buyer who purchases a new home is then a cost to the second hand Market of who knows how many sales! If I think back 30 years my wife and I as first time buyers were providing a deposit of 10%. To do this we sold her car, saved up by not going out as much and generally committed ourselves to the task of buying our first home together. Ah, you might say, but house prices were so much cheaper then. True but my salary was just under £2,000 per annum with the prospect of perhaps another £1,000 in commission from selling at lease 6 houses per month personally. The first 4 didn't count towards commission but were to cover my costs to my employer! I personally don't think 95% mortgages are ...

2012: What lays ahead for homes and property?

I’m writing this on 26th December which some might say is a bad time for predictions as the stomach is still churning and digesting yesterday’s Turkey dinner and copious mounts of alcoholic beverages. On the other hand it may focus my mind on whether the next 12 months are going to give any of us that ‘full’ feeling. The danger with property market predictions is that they are generalisations.  When the Halifax or Nationwide make their comments they are talking about the UK as a whole. When I make a prediction I’m talking about our particular little area of the country - incidentally East Cambridgeshire made it to No.4 in the ten best places to live in the UK http://bit.ly/vf0C4v (according to Simon Ward of www.lovemoney.com   using Halifax Quality of Life survey data, and who am I to doubt him!) The London market is buoyant with foreign investors buying and some reports will say that prices moved up even in the closing months of 2011.  The north of the country has over...
