A North-South divide re-emerges, with annual growth in the Midlands and South, excluding London, above average.
In London, City of Westminster has seen a 19.7% increase over the past 12 months as prime property leads the way. The City of Peterborough has the highest increase in transactions, up 31% on 2015 levels.
Managing Director of Your Move and Reeds Rains estate agents, Oliver Blake, said: ‘Don’t write the market off just yet. We’ve seen three months of falls, but it’s far too early to panic. Mortgage rates are still affordable and the slow down we have seen will already have helped some buyers struggling with affordability.
“We’re still seeing strong growth in the East and in prime London. We’re also seeing a return to the North-South divide in terms of price growth. In many ways, it feels like we’ve been here before.’
