What we can seen so far this year is the continued growth of sales compared to last year is throughout every region. Also, the trend of fewer properties coming on to the market for sale, is seen in all regions also.
However, given the recent announcement from the government about extending the stamp duty holiday though the summer to the end of September (in different guises), coupled with the fact that we are coming the usual time of year when more property is listed for sale, for households to try and make a move during the summer, will we see more property coming on to the market as a result and catch up with last year’s volumes? We wait to see. But the Stamp Duty extension, as well as the introduction from April of 95% mortgage guarantee for first time buyers are both great news for the property market in the UK. |
