These are the most comprehensive of all housing surveys but the figures are a little dated, inevitably reporting on activity from a few months earlier when the market was in the doldrums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince then, confidence has slowly improved in response to more choice and stabilising mortgage, if not base, rates. However, worries about inflation persist and buyers want to see value so are flexing their muscles before making decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Leeming, chairman of Jackson-Stops, noted that a stability may be returning to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cThe property market has turned into a marathon from a sprint. While there is still a long way to go, the market has cleared the first jump relatively unscathed. Today\u2019s figures show a soft repricing, which marks a more stable period for house price values following the supersonic heights reached this time last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven in the last two months, the economic picture is becoming much more stable. Mortgage deals are also returning to the market after a short hiatus in the immediate aftermath of Trussenomics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMarket conditions and an under reliance on outside funding has left cash buyers in a fortunate position, able to push ahead with quick completions and benefit from the increasing number of properties entering the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tomer Aboody, director of property lender MT Finance, was alos optimistic that the market could get \u2018back on track\u2019 in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said: \u201cFewer properties for sale tends to result in higher property prices, which seems to have been the case over the past year or so, with demand in the regions and for houses particularly strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith mortgage rates fluctuating, particularly towards the end of last year, many buyers stalled, which meant a reduction in the number of transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHopefully, as inflation falls and rates continue to stabilise, we will see more sales proceeding as buyers return and get their purchases back on track.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By Emma Lunn<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk\/news\/2023\/04\/19\/annual-house-price-growth-slows-but-market-resilient-ons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mortgage Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that average UK house prices have risen 5.5 per cent since this time last year.
