Prices hit record high for fifth consecutive month
Recent data released by a popular property portal shows the average price of a property coming to the market has hit a new high of £368,614.
Expert predictions suggest that as growth continues, the UK is on track to see prices rise by 5% in 2022 alone. Regardless of the rising prices, demand for properties remains ‘very strong’. In fact, demand is now 113% higher than the pre-pandemic five-year average. *
