Comment on Zoopla data showing a surge in homes for sale

Commenting on the latest Zoopla data showing a surge in the stock of homes for sale, Daniel Austin, CEO and co-founder at ASK Partners, said: “Research suggests that the property market is not traditionally affected by general elections, but it is positive to see that the recent election has not had a negative impact. We are continuing to see a month-on-month rise in house prices, which is hopefully the sign of an upward trend developing for the rest of the year. The market certainly appears to be showing signs of resilience. Everyone is waiting in anticipation of what the new government will do to drive construction of new homes and unlock the planning system, and it is likely that initiatives announced in the coming months will give the market a further boost.

“In the property investment world, rent values have seen sustained growth, positioning real estate as reasonably valued in comparison to gilts and presenting growth potential. In the realm of commercial real estate, we have seen values hit the bottom and confidence return. The market has picked up with opportunistic acquisitions of prime properties in prime locations.

“As a debt provider, we hope to support well-capitalised borrowers who understand their product and are looking at the best sites in prime locations with potential to add to their asset value. Following this strategy, we aim to bolster developers’ initiatives with the flexible underwriting approach that is necessary for navigating a changing market. This will enable us to continue to offer opportunities for the growing number of private individuals opting to invest in property debt.”
