  • A pedestrian walks past roles of densely populated apartment blocks in Shanghai, China on 14 February, 2011.

In the survey, 81.6 per cent of the 4,060 respondents interviewed said they "are suffering from the increase in rents". Among them, 34.8 per cent said their quality of life has been "greatly affected by the increase".

  • A local passer-by and a property development ad on wall in east London borough of Stratford, Newham, home of 2012 Olympics. The 2012 Olympics has sparked a house price boom in east London but there are fears for this old East End neighbourhood as young professionals and penthouses push up Stratford house prices. Since London won the bid in 2005, talk of east London's Olympic property boom has proved both myth and reality. Even amid the worst recession since the 1930s, it was assumed that at least one corner of the country would be impregnable to house price doom. For some, this is true: parts of Hackney have recorded average rises of up to 56% between July 2005 and May 2011. But for other, less gentrified areas, it has been a different story; in Stratford the increase was 13%.

  • Graffiti has been sprayed in red with aerosol on the wall of an estate agent in Herne Hill, South London England. "Homes for the Homeless, not Yuppies" it reads along with the Anarchists' Circle-A symbol, meaning that housing should be made available for families needing a roof over their heads, rather than overpricing properties for the middle-classes buying for profit and investment. We see the writing on the wall beneath pictures in windows of houses and flats in the SE24 area where prices are posted along with details of the buildings. The house-buying market climbs according to demand in areas of the city such as this, forcing up values which are out of reach to ordinary, working people unable to climb the property ladder.

  • Four estate agent's property boards advertise their names and numbers in a London housing estate, each representing vendors selling their houses and flats for a set commission in the housing market. Above the signs is the pink blossom from a cherry tree whose branches hang over the temporary information boards. The term originally referred to a person responsible for managing a landed estate, while those engaged in the buying and selling of homes were "House Agents", and those selling land were "Land Agents". However, in the 20th century, "Estate Agent" started to be used as a generic term, perhaps because it was thought to sound more impressive. Estate agent is roughly synonymous in the United States with the term real estate broker.

  • 2 months before the London Olympics, a To Let sign is attached to the gates of a building offering space near to the 2012 Olympic Park site. Merely a mile from the main Olympic Park site that is due to attract thousands of international interest. The 500-acre Olympic Park is the largest recreational space to open in Europe for 150 years.

  • Abandoned and derelict premises at the rear of a former garden centre business, due soon for redevelopment. On the ground are the words "Sous les paves, la plage" - in the French language. This roughly translates as 'under the pavement, the beach', a clue to the land's former use as a garden and plant centre followed by a pop-up artists' studio. The property is now vacant, awaiting development for a future library, apartments and small supermarket. Blue panelled fencing borders the premises and faded yellow breeze blocks separate weeds.
