RICS Survey Overview.
The RICS Residential Market Survey for April 2015 (published 14th May 2015) says that “Lack of stock pushes prices up in all areas”, and that the “general election may have deterred some sellers from listing their properties for saleâ€.
The North West saw the largest price increases over the month, followed closely by Northern Ireland, whilst Wales and the North saw the smallest increases. There were no decreases this month.
Northern Ireland once again had the highest level of agreed sales, whereas London saw the largest falls.
The North had the highest positive levels of enquiries in the month whereas East Anglia saw the largest drop.
The highest level of vendor instructions was in Scotland, whereas the lowest was in Yorkshire & Humberside – although London wasn’t far behind.
