The latest research from online estate agent eMoov has revealed that property prices will continue to surge ahead during the next decade. The research suggests that, even if the market continues to grow at a slow rate of 0.37% a month, the average UK house would still hit £347,757 – an increase of 56% over the next decade.
London has seen a real slowdown in price growth since Brexit and so, although the capital would remain one of the most expensive cities in the UK (along with Oxford) according to eMoov, it would have seen one of the lowest percentage increases in value.
Nottingham however tops of the table in terms of monthly prices growth since Brexit, up 0.80% a month on average meaning the average house price would increase 160% from the current £133,215 to £346,592 by 2027.
“With latest industry figures indicating an end to the post-Brexit market slowdown that has seemingly plagued the market over the last 18 months, many UK homeowners will be breathing a sigh of relief, despite having still enjoyed a notable annual increase in their property’s value,” commented Russell Quirk, founder & CEO of eMoov.co.uk. “Although these recent slower rates of price growth are unlikely to persist going forward, and we are by no means predicting they will, this research demonstrates that the outlook would still be rather positive and far from the apocalyptic prophecy’s many have talked the market down with since the Brexit vote.”
The rising prices are resulting in changes to the housing market in general, with ‘Generation Rent’ numbers growing significantly as people must save for longer in order to get onto the property ladder.
