UK Property Research Headlines – Q3 2018:

• Demand outstripping supply. With property exchanges up over 11% year on year, more homemovers are reaching completion than this time a year ago.
• Online agents fallen. The market share of online estate agents has fallen back to 7.2% of all exchanges – a fall of 6% from Q2.
• The property ladder. Terraced and semi-detached houses make up the largest proportion of property sales, consistently comprising over 50% of all exchanges every quarter, reflecting the core of the UK housing stock.
• Ownership or rental. Our insight now highlights a consistency in the split between the owned and rental market. In major cities one third of available housing stock is now rental, while in London this rises to two thirds.
