MARKET OVERVIEW Seasonal spring bounce

Levels of cautious optimism are improving for a more buoyant year ahead as home-mover activity is increasing; however, realistic pricing is still essential.

NUDGING UPWARDS

The average new seller asking price rose by 0.9% (£3,091) between January and February. Average prices are now up by 0.1% year-on-year after experiencing annual falls since August 2023, an indication that the market may be turning a corner (Rightmove). House prices displayed more resilience against higher mortgage rates than had previously been assumed. Lloyds Banking Group revised its house price forecasts, now expecting softer price moderation through 2024 than was anticipated a few months ago. A decline of 2.2% is now forecast, with property values returning to positive growth next year.

MORTGAGE METRICS

As inflation heads in the right direction, average rates on both two-year and five-year fixed-rate mortgages have fallen for six consecutive months (Moneyfacts).

The average two-year fix is now 5.59% and the five-year is 5.23%. A host of lenders are offering rates below 5% and even 4%, whereas in November 2023 no lenders offered fixed rates below this level. Mortgage rates are expected to remain within the 4% to 5% range, potentially moving a little lower over 2024, but this depends on the Bank Rate and if there is a cut later this year. Stability in the mortgage market continues; the average shelf life of a mortgage product rose to 28 days, the highest figure since February 2023 (Moneyfacts).

DEMAND UP

Sub-5% mortgages mean agreed sales are 16% higher than the same period last year and 3% higher than in 2019 (Rightmove). This may be indicating pent-up

demand, with a return to the market of buyers who had previously been delaying a move. Mortgage approvals in January reached their highest level since October 2022, up 40.2% on the same time last year (Bank of England). There was a 7.2% uptick between December and January, the fourth consecutive monthly rise, indicating market momentum as we head into spring. Transactions also increased 1.9% between December and January, the first monthly rise since August 2023 (HMRC).

Almost two thirds (64%) of agents surveyed said there are on average three or more prospective buyers for each of their properties currently available, and a further 20% said there were six or more (Dataloft Poll of Subscribers). With more buyers in the market, the likelihood of achieving a successful sale is increased; however, with a small proportion of sellers reducing asking prices, it’s vital to price realistically.

MORE CHOICE

After a period of limited new supply to the market, there are indications of more balance as stock levels improve. Zoopla report a 21% uplift in the stock of homes for sale year-on-year, a sign of greater confidence amongst vendors and a boost in choice for buyers. With greater supply and clear demand, the housing market is on track for 10% more sales in 2024 than 2023 (Zoopla).

In England and Wales, the average price of a prime market property is £1,251,366, down 1.7% year-onyear. Yorkshire and the Humber has seen the strongest growth at 0.4%. New instructions in the higher £5m+ market rose in January by 41% compared to a year ago. Although sales were down on a year earlier, they were 64% ahead of the pre-pandemic (2017–2019) January average (LonRes).

It continued in that role when the barracks were taken over by the Royal Marines in 1930 until they relocated to Portsmouth in 1996, when the site was redeveloped for residential use. However, many of the original buildings were retained including this spacious family home that was then purchased by the existing owners and it is still full of wonderful Georgian features both externally and internally.

Driving down Holly Lane from Foreland

believe that you are only a short walk from the bustling Northdown Road or the seafront in Cliftonville, and this gorgeous L-shaped Arts and Crafts detached property set back from the lane just adds to the tranquil environment. Built in the 1920s it is full of character, which is well illustrated from the moment you walk through the wrought-iron gates onto the crazy-paved pathway and see the house for the first time.

You could be forgiven for thinking that you have discovered superb examples of Tudor houses as you sweep through the wrought-iron gates into Nackington Court, where you will find a charming enclave of five beautiful detached properties that includes The Lodge. However, the properties were actually only built about 28 years ago to a very high standard, replicating all the wonderful features of a bygone era but with all the mod cons associated with contemporary living.
