Propertymark response to Rightmove’s ‘Record number of home valuation requests in January’

Nathan Emerson, CEO at Propertymark, said:

“Buyers who have been waiting in the wings are now starting to show increasing signs of optimism following three years of economic turbulence. Propertymark member agents witnessed many buyers moving house, which took up the majority of sales. However, now that more buyers are expressing an interest in moving and with hopes to see further interest rate cuts improving affordability, we anticipate an increased growth in confidence and usual market trends fully returning.”
