The pandemic was a tumultuous time for us all \u2013 and the property market was not immune. As things begin to normalise, some pre-pandemic patterns are returning to property trends.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Double speed<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Q1 2022 was the fifth busiest quarter since 2007, according to HM Revenue and Customs. Likewise, data1<\/sup> analysis has found that UK properties are selling twice as fast as in 2019, with the average property now taking just 33 days to sell. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Up and up and\u2026?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

2021 was a record year for house prices and this soaring growth has continued in 2022. The numerous property price indices mostly concur that year-on-year growth in April 2022 was about 10%. After such frenzied activity, many experts now expect house price growth to slow for the remainder of the year. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Supply, meet demand<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Part of the reason for slowing house price growth is likely to be increased supply. The number of new homes listed for sale has risen for the first time in a year, with +8% of respondents to a recent industry survey2<\/sup> reporting an increase. Meanwhile, new buyer enquiries are at +9%, making this the closest supply has been to demand since the pandemic. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Delayed FTBs<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

With the war in Ukraine and soaring inflation, this is undoubtedly a challenging time for many. Indeed, seven in ten3<\/sup> potential first-time buyers (FTBs) now expect to delay their plans to buy in the next two years because of the growing cost of living. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Chain-free record<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Finally, 2022 is already setting new records; 73% of property buyers so far this year have been chain-free4<\/sup>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

On the ball<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
