UK Property Research Headlines – Q4 2018:

• Subdued property market. The market has remained lacklustre in 2018 and looks to stay subdued into 2019.
• Online estate agents. The market share of online agents at the end of 2018 stabilised at 7.2% of all exchanges. However, additional analysis shows that online agents are struggling to penetrate south of the Watford Gap.
• Fallen-throughs. With one in five house sales falling through in England and Wales, the need for a seismic change in the buying and selling process is essential.
• Affordability – crisis in the capital. With consumer confidence low and the Brexit process casting an economic shadow, the performance of the London property market continues to decline.
