RICS Survey Overview

The RICS Residential Market Survey for September 2016 (published 13th October 2016) says that “new buyer enquiries increased for the first time since February,” and that “House prices continue to rise”.

Northern Ireland saw the largest price increases over the month, followed by East Midlands and the North West, whilst London yet again saw the most substantial decrease. The North and Wales were the only other areas to see a decrease in prices.

The North, with Northern Ireland close behind, saw the greatest increases in the level of new buyer enquiries this month, while Scotland saw the largest decrease.

There were only a few small increases in new vendor instructions, the South West being the greatest. The largest decrease was West Midlands.

The South West again had the highest positive level of newly agreed sales, whereas the North West saw the lowest.
