Nathan Emerson, CEO of Propertymark, comments:

“It is extremely positive to see an uplift in the number of people completing on their property transaction month on month, as it is a clear-cut indicator of overall affordability and consumer confidence. 
 
“We have witnessed the UK Government and the devolved administrations make comprehensive promises regarding housebuilding targets, which should boost the economy in the long run and provide greater choice to those who aspire to buy. We also have the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which will apply to England, working its way through Westminster as the autumn approaches, again aimed at increasing housing supply.”
