With the recent slowdown in the decline of London house prices, a pause in inflation, and stalling interest rates, there is growing speculation that we could soon see a return to house price rises and a bustling London housing market.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a gradual decrease in house prices across the capital. According to Reuters, British house prices fell for a fourth consecutive month in July 2023, and this downward trend seems set to continue into 2024. However, with a recent pause in both inflation and interest rate rises, there are signs that this might be about to change.
The London housing market has always been somewhat of a barometer for the rest of the UK property market. As such, the slowdown in the decline of house prices could signal a potential shift in the market dynamics. The Independent reported in June 2023 that house price inflation had slowed to 1.7%, and by September, the average house price had fallen by 5.3%. But with inflation and interest rates now on a pause, it’s plausible that we could soon see a reversal of this trend.
What does this mean for those looking to move in or out of London? Well, if the speculation proves correct, we could see a surge in activity in the London housing market. Those who’ve been holding off on buying or selling due to the falling house prices might decide that now is the time to make their move. This could result in increased demand for removal services, as individuals and businesses look to relocate.
