    More People Looking for Homes in January

    The latest agents report suggests that the number of people looking for a new home in the UK rose by 37% in January 2018. According to the monthly report from the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the supply of available properties and the number of sales agreed have also increased.

    “As we usually see in January, buyers and sellers have re-entered the market after the festive slow-down and triggered an uplift in the number of sales agreed. While this is good news for the market generally, the increased competition seems to have affected first time buyers, who generally have less bargaining power when it comes to bidding for properties,” said Mark Hayward, NAEA chief executive.

    Property sales to first time buyers fell from 32% in December to 27% in January, with many people skipping the traditional start up home and looking for bigger properties. Overall, agents registered 367 buyers per branch in January, which is up from 268 in the previous months and also the highest figure since September 2017 when there were 394 registered per estate agent branch.

    Additionally, January saw an influx of sellers marketing their properties as the supply of available properties increased to 36 per branch on average, up by 3 properties since December.

    “Our members have noticed first time buyers holding off on making purchases typically outside of London, and saving for longer to maximise the full stamp duty relief. They’re skipping the first time home and moving straight onto their second homes, to avoid growing out of their property in four or five years and facing the cost of stamp duty. This is a smart move and an example of how first time buyers are making legislation work to their advantage,” Mark concluded.
