New listings continue despite buyers putting home-moves ‘on hold’ in Q4

Knight Frank data shows a clear drop in rural property sales over the last year, while exchanges in regional towns and cities has increased by an equivalent amount.

Over a quarter of home-mover mortgages secured in Q3 were for terms of more than 30 years, up from fewer than one in ten a decade ago.

London property prices have fallen over the last five years and are likely to drop further in 2023, says Zoopla.
