There are fewer buyers in the UK property market than a year ago... but those who remain are still getting deals done.

Higher mortgage rates are adding caution, which means pricing to sell is more important than ever. https://t.co/XOX6au8vUR

[Emma Fildes @emmafildes]

Rising rates drove demand down 13% on last year's efforts in this month's @Zoopla HPI . This buyer’s retreat, for now, only reduced agreed sales by 2% as cash rich buyers or those keen to utilise their previously agreed mortgage offer at a lower rate, opted to move on rather than wait for any potential conflict resolution in the East. At the same time, sellers determined to move after years of rate and economic uncertainty, pressed ahead hoping to win the attention of those still standing and listed, causing stock levels to swell by 6%. Overall, UK house price inflation held steady at +1.3% year on year with growth still dominant in more affordable northern regions while the capital and southern regions saw prices stabilise at lower levels.

2026 has started with a strong rebound in housing market activity - driven by the lowest mortgage rates in 4 years and improved access to mortgages, particularly for first-time buyers: https://t.co/XOX6au8vUR

[Emma Fildes @emmafildes]

Encouraged by falling interest rates and budget clarity; sellers list with renewed hope that 2026 is the year they move on. Listings are already up 6% on last year according to @Zoopla but expect a significant increase with the next base rate cut and as the weather improves. New listings will spring up in their droves but greater choice will keep price growth in check @rupert_jones https://t.co/k8XJa4EPpe

House prices in southern England have dipped for the first time in 18 months - but the Autumn Budget delivered a lift for the South by scrapping the proposed annual property tax, removing a concern for around 210,000 homes currently on the market 🏡

A must read for estate agents: the Autumn Budget decoded 🏡
https://t.co/puRoHNfG2X

[Zoopla @Zoopla]

#AutumnBudget boost: our data shows 210,000 homes for sale over £500,000 (but below £2m) will avoid a new annual property tax, which is likely to reboot activity after months of ‘wait and see’.

[Zoopla @Zoopla]

The move is likely to unsettle landlords, who already face tighter regulations from the recent Renters’ Rights Bill, new energy efficiency regulations and higher stamp duty on the purchase of additional homes (from 3% to 5%) in last year’s Budget.

Landlords who remain in the sector may look to pass part or all of the extra cost onto tenants.

[Zoopla @Zoopla]

We estimate this new #MansionTax to cover 0.5% of UK homes - with 85% of these located in London and the South East.
