IT’S neither rocket science – nor an exact one – to point out that house prices tend to perform better where the local economy is stronger. So it was intriguing to catch sight this week of the Centre for Cities report on the cities that are expected to do well in 2012 – and those not expected to fare quite so well.

The “independent, non partisan research and policy institute committed to improving the economic performance of UK cities” do at least suggest some parts of Britain will do well this year but say the gap between cities is widening and – for example- says there are “six times more claimants in the most troubled neighbourhood in Rochdale than there are in the most troubled neighbourhood in Cambridge“.
