๐ก UK PROPERTY MARKET UPDATE โ A POSITIVE START TO SEPTEMBER
Liz Milsom, Director & Founder of Liz Milsom Properties, gives a brief property market update.
If youโve been wondering whatโs happening in the property market right now, there are some encouraging signs for both buyers and sellers.
๐ Buyer demand is strengthening. Rightmove has reported a stronger-than-usual lift in buyer demand for September, suggesting that more people are actively considering their next move.
๐ Buyer searches are also up. Zoopla reports that buyer searches are 7% higher than this time last year, another indication that confidence and activity are picking up.
๐ The rental market remains strong too. According to ONS data, average UK private rents increased by 3.7% in the year to July, highlighting continued demand from renters.
So, what does this mean?
๐ For sellers: More buyers are entering the market, so if youโve been considering selling, now could be a good time to review your options and make the most of increased interest. But sensible pricing is key!
๐ For buyers: There is more activity in the market, but opportunities are still available. Getting your finances and buying position ready could put you in a much stronger position when the right property comes along.
๐ For landlords: Continued rental growth demonstrates ongoing demand, although it remains important to assess each investment carefully.
Overall, the market is showing signs of renewed activity rather than dramatic price growth. As always, the local market can vary significantly, so understanding whatโs happening in your area is key.
