UK: Worry for homeowners who face the threat of fracking

Property prices in some area are being threatened by fracking, a controversial method of extracting shale gas

Fracking has already caused small earthquakes in the north-west, but homeowners in the vicinity of shale gas extraction could face an even worse aftershock: falling house prices.

John Johnson, manager of estate agent Farrell Heyworth in the Lancashire town of Poulton-le-Fylde, near one of the main drilling sites, says: “There are a lot of properties coming on to the market, and some of the owners are saying they want to get out before prices start dropping.”
