UK Property Market Sees Positive Growth in 2024 – But Challenges Remain!

The UK property market has shown promising signs of recovery and growth in 2024, buoyed by increased buyer activity and a rebound in key areas of the housing sector. However, the market is not without its hurdles, as affordability concerns, the potential risk of rising interest rates, and regional disparities continue to pose challenges.

The UK property market is showing signs of strength, with a remarkable increase in homes marked as ‘sold subject to contract’ (SSTC) between January and November 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
This upward trend in every region across the country, reflects renewed confidence among buyers and sellers.
Here’s the regional breakdown of growth:
• East Anglia: Up 22.2% (highest growth in the UK)
• East Midlands: Up 21.5%
• South East: Up 19.6%
• North West: Up 18.5%
• London: Up 18.3%
• West Midlands: Up 18.2%
• Yorkshire & Humber: Up 17.6%
• North East: Up 15.7%
• South West: Up 15.6%
• Wales: Up 14.6%
• Scotland: Up 12.9%
• Northern Ireland: Up 12%
This growth is an encouraging sign, particularly after the challenges of the past few years. However, while more homes are being marked as sold, yet it’s crucial to remember that only 53% of properties listed on the market in last 18 months has ultimately resulted in a successful sale and move.

Against a noisy global backdrop, the UK housing market has quietly surged, posting its strongest week for sales agreed in 45 weeks. Demand hasn’t vanished, it has sharpened. Well-priced homes are moving fast, while overpriced listings linger, making strategy and timing more critical than ever.

In today's property market, the temptation to 'test the market' with an ambitious asking price can be strong if you're not in any particular hurry to sell. However, this strategy often backfires, costing vendors valuable time, credibility, and ultimately, money. Let's explore why.

Homes here take around 82 days to find a buyer, with flats slower and bungalows faster, but averages hide a more complex picture. Pricing and presentation often decide everything.

There's a lot of talk about AI in estate agency, and rightly so. But here at Millbanks, I've noticed a worrying trend. Many agents are simply using this powerful new technology to speed up old, ineffective processes. Let me explain why I believe that's a mistake, and how we do things differently.
