Zoopla is reporting sales agreed in the four weeks to mid-June are up 6 per cent annually, but stock levels continue to rise more quickly than demand, meaning increases in activity are not driving significant price rises.
House prices 
Nationwide's house price index shows prices dipped 0.8 per cent in June compared with May, meaning annual growth in prices dropped back from 3.5 per cent in May to 2.1 per cent last month. Expect to see annual averages increase a little in the coming
 months as the market continues to settle.
Zoopla reported asking prices rose 1.4 per cent annually in May, with stock on the market up 14 per cent year-on-year. This outpaced new buyer demand, rising by 7 per cent over the same period. Higher value markets saw the most marked increase in stock
 for sale, with activity at the top end of the market more sluggish than at the lower end. Prices in areas where house prices average under &pound;200k rose 2.7 per cent compared with falls of 0.7 per cent in areas where prices top &pound;500k.

Market activity 
Mortgage approvals numbers began to recover in May, rising 3.9 per cent month-on-month on a slow April and 3 per cent higher than May 2024. But these numbers point to a steady rise in activity rather than a significant uptick. Average rates paid on new
 loans fell in May to 4.47 per cent with sub-4 per cent rates now available for both two- and five-year fixes for those with higher deposits. Forecasters are still anticipating up to two further rate cuts this year, taking the bank rate to 3.75% by
 the year end, but uncertainty around swap rates means that we are not expecting to see further significant falls in best buy rates in the near term.
Following a slow post-SDLT April, transactions recovered in May. Seasonally adjusted figures show there were 25 per cent more sales in May than April, but volumes remained 12 per cent lower than the May figure a year ago.

What does this mean for our outlook? 
The time taken to sell a home (from listing to completion) now exceeds 200 days according to research by TwentyEA. This means homeowners listing their homes today would be expected to pick up the keys to their new home in late January 2026.
As well as increasing the likelihood of a sale falling through &ndash; time is often the killer of deals - this means that prices achieved on completion for homes in 2025 will largely reflect offers already accepted by vendors. As a result, even if we
 see a pick-up in activity later in the year, with more competitive mortgage rates and improved buyer confidence increasing activity, this uptick will be reflected in the 2026 rather than 2025 stats.
Our forecasts for this year, made back in November, were for a gradual recovery in prices, aided by more competitive mortgage rates and political certainty following a Labour majority at the General Election. While the benefits of a strong majority have
 been tested in recent weeks and the outlook for the UK economy remains underwhelming, the housing market continues to follow a path of slow but steady recovery.
Despite the stamp duty changes muddying the waters more recently, we are leaving our current forecasts for 3.5 per cent annual growth in UK prices in 2025 unchanged. Similarly, our expectations that higher value markets would lag in 2025 are still evident
 in the latest house price data, meaning we still expect that price growth in London will be more modest, rising by 2.5 per cent in 2025.
A different story in Central London 
The only market where we are revising our 2025 forecast is Central London. Ongoing uncertainty around government plans to tax (or not) non-doms on their global assets means fewer prospective buyers at the top end of the market this summer. Here at JLL
 we've seen 8 per cent fewer new applicants registering with our offices in Q2 this year versus last, with LonRes data showing the numbers of sales so far this year at &pound;5million or more are down 14 per cent and &pound;10million plus sales down
 20 per cent.
Sold prices (excluding new homes) fell 3.9 per cent annually across Prime Central London in Q2 2025, meaning our expectations for 3 per cent growth by the year end is increasingly unlikely. Additional tax liabilities for overseas buyers and those buying
 additional properties from April, alongside ongoing uncertainty around the non-dom regime, are all impacting buyer appetite. A U-turn on the exposure of non-doms' global assets to UK inheritance tax could help, but many will be waiting for further
 clarity before making their decision to stay, go or relocate. In the meantime, buyers remain cautious and stock levels in the second-hand market, up 13 per cent annually, are outstripping demand.
Relative scarcity of stock in the new homes market in central London means we are not seeing any notable reduction in prices, but activity remains skewed towards owner-occupiers and needs-based purchasers rather than investors, with sales volumes lower
 than historic norms.
We expect some markets - particularly those neighbourhoods more reliant upon high-net-worth overseas buyers - will see prices end the year lower than they started, but others could see small single digit annual increases this year. This means overall
 we expect prices to be flat in 2025, with growth of 2 per cent forecast in 2026.
The slowdown in rental growth experienced across most UK markets is following the path we forecast in November, so we'll be maintaining our current forecast for growth nationally of 3.0 per cent in 2025.

Prime Central London Report - Q1 2025

The JLL Q1 2025 Prime Central London Report tracks activity across the central London housing market. The report incorporates the results of our quarterly JLL Prime Central London Index.

https://res.cloudinary.com/global-cms-assets-np/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1745419962/resi/gb/Articles/Images/PCL-Q1-2025-Hero.jpg

The housing market remains more resilient than many had anticipated. The latest results from the RICS Survey show market conditions remain challenging, with agents still expecting prices to fall in the coming months in response to higher borrowing costs and uncertain market sentiment. But the outlook for the next 12 months remained more positive. 
Over the longer term there is a clear commitment from both Labour and the Conservatives to support home ownership. But until we see rates top out, we expect the market to continue to tread water. This means lower levels of activity, but prices will, we expect, remain more resilient as a lack of distress and high levels of equity act as a buffer to more challenging economic conditions. 
<h2>The economy</h2>
The outlook for the UK economy is improving, with the IMF upgrading their 2023 UK forecast. Echoing recent announcements from the Bank of England the IMF no longer expects the UK will fall into recession this year, with their latest forecasts expecting
 GDP will rise in 2023. Growth is expected to be modest at +0.4% but reflects a welcome venture into positive territory following the previous -0.3% forecast in April. This improved outlook means the UK no longer sits at the bottom of the list of G7
 economies for 2023, now moving ahead of Germany.
But inflation is still proving stickier than many had hoped. Rates have fallen, with single digit annual increases for the first time since August 2022. It was always anticipated that rates would drop back this month, with the impact of rising energy
 costs priced into rates a year ago, but the 8.7% annual increase remained higher than the Bank of England and many forecasters had anticipated.
Further falls in energy costs in the coming months will help to bring inflation down further, but annual food price inflation remains at 19.1% according to the latest ONS figures.
Core inflation (calculating the rise in costs when energy and food, alcohol and tobacco are stripped out) rose by 6.8% in the year to April, up from 6.2% in March. With the recent increase in five-year swap rates and stubbornly high inflation meaning
 a further rise in Bank Rate at the June MPC appears more likely.
<h2>New development</h2>
Activity in the new homes market remains muted. While schemes on site continue to deliver homes, levels of new starts have dropped and activity in the sector has been more subdued in Q1. The National House Building Council (NHBC) reported new build completions
 fell 7% annually in Q1 2023 but the number of new homes registered to be built fell 40% to less than 28,000. This follows news that new applications in 2022 fell 14% on 2021 levels, now at their lowest level since 2006, according to figures from the
 DLUHC. In London, Molior reports constructions starts down 43% on Q1 2022.
<h2>House prices</h2>
Considering the considerable change that has been thrust upon the UK housing market this year it remains remarkably robust. Activity has dropped back, but we are starting to see the reaction to the initial interest rate and sentiment shock following the
 mini budget recede, as prospective buyers re- enter the market. With time on the market and mortgage approvals all starting to recover from the lows of late 2022 and early 23.
Low levels of unemployment, wage growth (albeit mostly below inflation), and more equity within the market all mean forced sales are less prevalent. But for those who are looking to transact in this market there does need to be some realism about prices
 and additional cost facing purchasers.
The latest Land Registry figures show all regions saw a monthly fall in prices in March, with prices UK wide 1.2% lower than in February, the fourth consecutive monthly fall. Prices are now 2.4% below their November peak but remain 4.1% higher than they
 were a year ago.
After seven consecutive monthly falls the Nationwide reported house prices rose 0.5% in April, but prices dropped back marginally in the latest May figures, down 0.1% month-on-month with prices falling annually by -3.4%, now -4% lower than they were at
 the peak last summer. The Halifax reported at -0.3% fall in April, following a rise of 0.8% the previous month, with prices on par (+0.1%) with April 2022. First time buyer activity is proving more resilient than expected, with a competitive rental
 market driving those who can to buy instead.
Falls in achieved prices show higher rates and rising costs are impacting the housing market, although both activity and prices appear more resilient than many had expected. The latest figures from Rightmove show asking prices rose in May, up 1.8%, higher
 than the usual 1.0% May figure.
Uncertainty over rates appears to have put the brakes on the recovery in mortgage approvals posted in March. Seasonally adjusted figures from the Bank of England showing the number of mortgages approved for house purchase fell by 5%, from 51,500 in March
 to 48,700 in April. The average rate on new mortgages rose to 4.46% in April, up 5 basis points on March figures. Overall borrowers repaid &pound;1.4bn more than was lent in April 2023, which aside from the pandemic was the biggest net repayment on
 record.

<h2>Rents</h2>
The rental market continues to record near double digit growth in rents on new lets. The Homelet Rental Index showing annual rental growth remains strong at 9.9% across the UK in April 2023, with a current average rent of &pound;1,199, 1.3% higher than
 the March figure. London saw rents rise annually by 11.0%, with average rents on new lets exceeding &pound;2,000 per month. Scotland saw the highest annual increase, with rents on new lets rising 12.1%.
<h2>Global view</h2>
In the US, the Federal Reserve increased its key interest rate by 25 basis points, pushing its benchmark rate to between 5% and 5.25%. This is the tenth time rates have increased since March 2022. Rates could be topping out though with the Fed hinting
 at a pause on further rate rises when they next meet in June.
Singapore has announced a doubling of its Additional Buyer Stamp Duty. Overseas buyers purchasing a property in Singapore will now pay 60% tax on their purchase, with those buying using a trust will pay 65%. Permanent residents buying second homes in
 the city will also pay more.

JLL Residential Market Update – May 2023

The housing market remains more resilient than many had anticipated. The latest results from the RICS Survey show market conditions remain challenging, with agents still expecting prices to fall in the coming months in response to higher borrowing costs and uncertain market sentiment.

A higher proportion of homes bought with cash and a sustained lack of stock in the most sought-after locations means Prime Central London (PCL) is less tied to fluctuations in UK mortgage rates. However, the central London market is not
 immune to changes in economic conditions, with sentiment rather than interest rates often having a greater impact on activity and pricing. And while Prime Central London is less reliant on debt the discretionary nature of many purchasers buying decisions
 means PCL is often more reactive to changes in sentiment and economic headwinds than mainstream, both when prices fall and when they increase.
&nbsp;For the rental market, uncertainty often increases demand with prospective purchasers holding off on their decision to purchase and renting or remaining in rented instead. We continue to see demand outstripping supply for prime homes, but there
 is more balance in the market this year than we have seen over the last 12 months. Stock levels, while still significantly lower than the pre-pandemic norms have improved, and rental growth recorded in the Q1 2023 JLL Prime Central London Index has
 returned to single rather than double digit annual growth.

The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee will next meet on 2nd February, with expectation that rates could rise again. Yet reports on the economic outlook for the UK have been marginally more positive of late. Despite remaining in double digits annual
 growth, inflation fell back again in December to 10.5% (from 10.7% in November and 11.1% in October). Inflation is now thought to have peaked in 2022 with forecasters anticipating a gradual fall in the rate of inflation throughout 2023. Albeit remaining
 higher than the Banks 2% target. Three of the key drivers of inflation globally, commodities, energy and shipping costs, are all falling. With lower gas prices meaning the governments costs to cap energy bills may well be lower than anticipated, helping
 to lower the rate of inflation in the coming months. But challenges remain, with households still feeling the cost-of-living squeeze as prices of other household goods including food continue to rise. The employment market too, while still robust
 is seeing vacancies fall as positions are withdrawn in certain sectors.<div><img alt="" src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/uaelibraries/default-album/residential-market-update-jan-2023-falling-inflation-175679a44f4c9-3cbe-4075-8e4d-641a06be18fc.jpg?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=3695d91c_1" sf-size="100" />&nbsp;<h2>The Mortgage Market</h2>A more competitive mortgage market is beginning to emerge in the UK. Several lenders have introduced more competitive fixed rate offers. One lender having released a new two-year fixed deal at 4.84%, one of the most competitive rates on the market.
 New analysis by wealth fund Quilter, has also shown that a fall in house prices coupled with a fall in mortgage rates to around 4%, could see buyers mortgage repayments reduce by as much as 25% by the end of 2023.The number of mortgage approvals in November 2022 fell to 47,279, the lowest levels since May 2020. However, as we see more competitive deals enter the market, it is likely we will begin to see a gradual uptick in the number of deals approved. It
 is also worth noting that a proportion of the fall in activity can be linked to the end of the Help to Buy scheme in October, skewing first -time buyer activity.<h2>The Sales Market</h2>The latest set of responses from the RICS survey saw the majority of agents reporting a drop in house prices and new buyer enquiries in December. The story is similar across London with a net balance of 32% of professionals reporting a fall in house
 prices. The fall in new buyer enquiries is also impacting the time properties spend on the market, with the number of days taken to sell a home rising to 52 days in December, seven days longer than in November. Albeit it is not unusual to see
 an increase in December.More challenging market conditions are yet to impact Land Registry house price data, with annual growth still in double digits in November 2022, due to the time lag between offer and completion. But monthly rates of growth are slowing as rising mortgage
 rates and a squeeze on household budgets are beginning to filter through to the market. The Nationwide House Price Index reports annual growth in December of 2.8%, representing a fourth monthly decline. Across the UK house prices rose 10.3% in
 November 2022, compared with November 2021, with prices 27% higher than they were in 2019 (November 2022 vs. November 2019). Regionally annual price growth ranged from 6.3% in Greater London to 13.5% in the North West.&nbsp;<h2>The Rental Market</h2>The Homelet index suggests annual rental growth remains strong at 10.8% across the UK, although the monthly change in rents remained flat in December. The latest RICS survey continues to show an imbalance between supply and demand in the both the
 UK and London rental markets. The impact of higher interest rates also means tenants are staying in the rental sector for longer as affordability is squeezed, and potential buyers wait to see where the market is heading before committing to purchase. <h2>Forecasts</h2>Lessons learnt from the global financial crisis mean the UK housing market is in a stronger position, with households more equity rich and stress tested for higher rates. JLL forecasts that transaction volumes will fall 30% next year but for house
 prices we will see a correction rather than a crash.&nbsp;In Central London, there are a larger proportion of both overseas and cash buyers, less reliant on mortgages, and subsequently effected by rate rises. Coupled with lack of stock coming onto the market, we expect this to underpin values in Central
 London over the next year of 2.5%.Outside of Central London a combination of higher rates, poorer market sentiment and the cost-of-living squeeze will mean prices and activity levels fall across the UK housing market in 2023. Prices are expected to fall UK wide by 6% in 2023 before
 recovering in late 2024, as interest rates fall back and inflation is contained.&nbsp;&nbsp;<style>td,

<h3>An oversea buyer&rsquo;s guide to investing in Prime properties in London, UK</h3>
Luxury properties in Prime Central London (PCL) present a solid investment opportunity for overseas buyers.
The financial and political stability that London affords means that, with the right advice and preparation, investing in London property could result in a springboard for your investment portfolio, a secure pension, or a route to setting your family
 up for the future. 
Whatever your investment goals, this expert guide is designed to help. Explore the potential opportunity when investing in <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/prime-collection">Prime Central London real estate</a>, the attractions
 that make PCL such a desirable place to buy, and the mechanics of buying a UK property as an overseas investor or non-UK citizen.&nbsp;
<h3>What is the size of the opportunity in Prime London properties for an investor?</h3>
Prime Central London real estate &ndash; sales growth
According to the <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/insights/news/prime-central-london-q1-2022">JLL Prime Central London Sales Index</a> &ndash; our quarterly study into how the PCL market is performing, there was a 3.3% annual
 increase in achieved prices in Q1 2022, with prices up 0.6% on Q4 2021. Achieved prices for Q1 2022 came in at 4.7% higher than pre-pandemic (Q1 2020).
The same study showed a 7% annual increase in sales, making Q1 2022 the busiest Q1 for five years. Activity was predominantly driven by properties listed at between &pound;2million and &pound;5million, with sales up by a quarter (25%) on Q1 2021.
Post-pandemic, Londoners continue to make the return to the office, on a full time or flexible working basis, which in turn is driving demand for <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/prime-collection">Prime Central London flats</a>.
 Between January and March 2022, we saw a rise of 13% in the number of PCL flats sold, compared to Q1 2021.
With Prime Collection properties commanding strong prices, there continues to be opportunity for overseas investors who are looking to own and occupy or buy to let.
Prime Central London real estate &ndash; lettings growth 
Now is a good time to invest in the buy to let Prime Central London real estate market. Our <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/insights/news/prime-central-london-q1-2022">JLL PCL Rental Index</a> recorded a 15% increase in
 rents achieved &ndash; the highest annual rise in more than 10 years. 
This 15% annual increase in achieved rents also put Q1 2022 3.1% higher than Q1 2020, pre pandemic, proving that the rise wasn&rsquo;t the result of a pandemic dip. 
As always, there is movement out of and within Central London, with renters negotiating a competitive market. In 2021, some PCL tenants were in a strong position to negotiate significant rent reductions. In 2022, we are seeing many tenants appreciate
 how competitive the Prime Central London rental market is and therefore paying more to stay in exclusive locations. 
JLL research shows an 18% annual increase in the number of rent renewals across Prime Central London in Q1 2022, compared with Q1 2021, during the pandemic.&nbsp;
Attractions in Prime Central London that make this area a unique investment opportunity 
London&rsquo;s mix of the historic and the modern makes the city a truly unique place to explore, invest in and live. There is an overview of the local area and property types in Knightsbridge, Kensington &amp; Chelsea, Mayfair, Marylebone, Belgravia,
 and Westminster in: <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/insights/research/guide-to-investing-in-prime-properties-london-uk-jll">&lsquo;Are luxury properties in Prime Central London a good investment?&rsquo;</a>.
 
Prime Central London covers the following six areas:
<ol>
 <li>Knightsbridge </li>
 <li>Kensington &amp; Chelsea</li>
 <li>Mayfair</li>
 <li>Marylebone</li>
 <li>Belgravia</li>
 <li>Westminster </li>
</ol>
 To make sure you find the right property, in the right area, at the right price, it is critical to work with trusted experts who have in-depth knowledge of the Prime Central London real estate market.&nbsp;
The mechanics of buying Prime properties in London as an overseas investor 
According to research published in Showhouse1, overseas investment in <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/prime-collection">Prime Collection properties</a> collectively brought an estimated &pound;1,188million to
 the Prime Central London market in 2020. Of Prime transactions in 2020, 11% came from French nationals, 9.2% came from Hong Kong and the USA, 8.3% from China, and 7.3% from India. 
Here, we answer some frequently asked questions from overseas buyers: 
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Can a foreigner invest in UK property? 
Yes. In 2020, more than 40% of investment in Prime Central London&rsquo;s luxury properties came from overseas investors. Residential estate agents like <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/">JLL</a> are well versed in guiding
 overseas buyers through the UK buying process. 
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What do overseas buyers need to know about the UK buying process? 
The estate agency you partner with (i.e. JLL) and the conveyancing solicitor you appoint are both critical to this process. Once you&rsquo;re ready to buy, the amount you are offering to pay (your &lsquo;offer&rsquo;) is presented to
 the seller by the estate agent. You will need to be able to prove how you will fund your offer, how quickly you are looking to &lsquo;exchange&rsquo; and &lsquo;complete&rsquo; (more on these below), and who your solicitors are. 
If your offer is accepted by the seller, your solicitor will carry out the conveyancing process on your behalf. This is complex, but, in brief, your solicitor will carry out &lsquo;searches&rsquo; of the Land Registry and Local Authority
 records to examine the planning history and to look for any potential developments surrounding the property. You will also need to instruct a property surveyor to check the structural strength of the property &ndash; this is known as getting a &lsquo;survey&rsquo;.
 &nbsp;
 
Next, the seller&rsquo;s lawyers draft a sale agreement (also known as a &lsquo;contract&rsquo;), which, once agreed by both parties, is signed by you and them. The signed sale agreements or contracts are then exchanged between your lawyers
 and theirs. This is known as &lsquo;exchange&rsquo; and means you are legally bound to proceed with the purchase and pay a deposit. 
The next step is to &lsquo;complete&rsquo; on the purchase, at which point you pay the balance of the purchase price and formal documents will be signed and dated, transferring the property from the seller to you. Your proof of ownership, known as &lsquo;title deeds&rsquo;,
 can then be found on the public register at the Land Registry. 
It is important to be aware that there are different types of ownership in the UK. Freehold means you own it completely, and leasehold means there is a time limit on the number of years you will own it for. However, many
 leaseholds are very long (up to 999 years) and freeholds can also be purchased if the freeholder is open to selling it. 
Once you have completed on a property and you become the legal owner of the property, you will be liable for Stamp Duty land tax, which is payable to the Land Registry within 30 days of completion. 
<a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/#contactus">Get in touch</a> if you are considering buying in the UK for the first time and would like our experts to guide you through this process over the phone. 
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Invest, or own and occupy? 
UK property tax laws can be complex, which makes it crucial to work with estate agents and conveyancing solicitors who can direct you through the process efficiently. 
Depending on whether you decide to invest in UK property to live in (own and occupy) or as an investment (buy to let), the tax implications will be different. 
Since 1st April 2021, UK non-residents purchasing residential property in England and Northern Ireland are required to pay a 2% Stamp Duty surcharge. This is in addition to: 
<ul>
 <li>The 3% Stamp Duty surcharge on purchases of &lsquo;additional&rsquo; dwellings. This could be property you are buying as a second home or as a buy to let property;</li>
 <li>The 15% Stamp Duty rate on property purchases more than &pound;500,000 by companies; and</li>
 <li>The Stamp Duty rate for UK home buyers. -&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you need UK residency to invest in London prime property? </li>
</ul>
 No, you don&rsquo;t need to be a UK resident to&nbsp;<a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/prime-collection">buy Prime properties in London</a>, or anywhere else in the UK. Our experts can talk you through the buying process,
 tax implications, expected rental yields for buy to let investors, and much more.&nbsp;<a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/#contactus">Get in touch</a>.

 to increase at a strong rate (8.1%) and England&rsquo;s capital city still boasts unrivalled attractions across the six Prime Central London locations.
As well as boasting strong post-pandemic growth, <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/prime-collection">Prime Central London real estate</a> has proven to be a less volatile investment than Hong Kong&rsquo;s, for example, during

A buyer’s guide to East London’s parks and leisure facilities

For many people looking to buy in London, affordability and long-term return on investment are high on the list of priorities when it comes to picking a property.&nbsp;

JLL&rsquo;s latest Living Priorities Survey.
What we want from our homes is constantly evolving. Both the pandemic and rising energy costs means households are again re-evaluating their priorities. 
To better understand what buyers want in today&rsquo;s market, and how this might change in the future, we contacted potential buyers registered with JLL to hear their thoughts. 
Electric cars &ndash; a lesson for the housing market? 
Within a short space of time, we have seen a rapid shift in motorists&rsquo; willingness to adopt electric vehicles in a bid to lower their environmental impact. Could we see this positive approach to environmental sustainability feed through into our homes? <img src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/default-source/agency/graphical-image-1-insights.png?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=47d153a5_1" sf-size="100" alt="" />
New JLL research from our latest Living Priorities survey, explores the change in the proportion of people who expect to be driving an electric or hybrid vehicle in the future. At present, just 8% of respondents drive an electric or hybrid car, versus
 43% petrol or diesel. However, when asked about their next vehicle the survey results show a greater appetite for electric vehicles, with almost 70% expecting to drive an electric or hybrid car in the future, versus just 9% for petrol or diesel.
What&rsquo;s driving the push towards more energy efficiency homes?
For most, our homes will be the largest investment we make in our lives. Our survey has found that a larger number of people are now placing even more importance on the environmental impact of their home. Undeniably, reducing the running costs of a home
 is the key motivator for most, however many people are also increasingly aware that there is a desire to become more socially responsible. Almost two thirds of our respondents said that achieving a lower carbon footprint was important to them.
<img src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/default-source/agency/grpahical-image-2-insights.png?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=36e05bc6_1" sf-size="100" alt="" />
 70% of respondents viewed the energy efficiency and running costs of their home as more important now versus pre-pandemic. Back in April, we explored <a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/insights/news/jll-could-new-home-demand-rise-as-energy-prices-soar"><a href="https://residential.jll.co.uk/insights/news/jll-could-new-home-demand-rise-as-energy-prices-soar">what the rising energy costs meant for UK homes</a></a>.
 JLL research found that the lifting of the energy price cap could result in the average band G home experiencing an increase in bills of over &pound;1,700 per annum, an extra &pound;3,246 more per annum than the average home in bands A-C. It is
 therefore unsurprising perhaps, that 82% of respondents voted a &lsquo;saving on energy bills&rsquo; as the reason why the environmental sustainability of their home is important to them.
 Are purchasers willing to pay more?
 Over half of respondents (57%) would be prepared to pay a premium for a more environmentally friendly home. Of those who said &lsquo;yes&rsquo;, half would pay just up to 5%. In total, 83% of those who would pay a premium, would be prepared to pay
 up to 10% more for an environmentally friendly home.&nbsp;<img src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/default-source/agency/grpahical-image-3-insights.png?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=fc72dafe_1" sf-size="100" alt="" />
 So, what does this mean for our homes in the future, particularly the new homes sector?
 Rising energy costs have undoubtedly pushed energy efficiency up the list of importance for homeowners. But whether they are driven purely by costs, social responsibility or likely a combination of both, what is clear is that buyers will be taking
 energy consumption into consideration more, when looking for homes in the future. 
 80% of our respondents said that the environmental impact of their home will be either crucial or important in their next move, with the number of people willing to purchase a new home, if it meant improved environmental efficiency, rising from 51%
 from their last move, to 78% going forward. 
 With purchasers becoming more environmentally aware and the potential for more sustainable homes to command a premium, the new homes market should be well placed to benefit.&nbsp; Analysis of EPC ratings for UK homes shows 83% of new build properties
 boast an EPC rating of A or B, versus just 3% for existing stock.
 The JLL Living Priority Survey 2022 was conducted in May 2022 with a total of 104 respondents.

The 2020/21 pandemic race for space outside of London is no secret, but while there will always be people who move to suburbia, there will always be the pull of East London in all its cultural, diverse, exciting, commutable glory, too. In fact, in the
 first half of 2022, 30% of London rental properties went to people who were previously living outside of the city<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-15/the-great-london-property-exodus-is-in-reverse-as-tenants-return" name="_ednref1" target="_blank">[i]</a>.

Our UK Living Capital Markets Bulletin provides an update on the Living sectors (exploring the student housing, coliving, multifamily and later living markets), reflecting on the impact of Covid-19 so far and looking forward to the rest of the year.<img alt="" src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/uaelibraries/default-album/q2-uk-living-capital-markets-bulletindb0c11ed-c00c-469c-b5a4-210a18a778d8.jpg?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=4a597e72_1" sf-size="100" />After 100 days of lockdown due to Covid-19, the first steps towards the process of recovery are now being taken. While the social and economic impact of the pandemic has been severe, the reduction in social distancing measures and relaxation of other
 guidelines are a welcome return to some degree of normality. In the face of widespread disruption and many challenges, the Living sectors have performed well in recent months. With uncertainty clearing, we anticipate a strong increase in activity
 and demand across these markets over the rest of the year.

Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on UK economic growth and business activity is undeniable, but the stimulus measures announced today will be key to boosting the housing market through the current downturn.
<div><img src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/uaelibraries/default-album/stamp-duty-tax-holiday-should-trigger-stronger-than-anticipated-bounce-in-house-demand9c96bf20-5d9f-405b-bf57-344a4075ed37.jpg?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=a298bc56_1" sf-size="100" alt="" /></div>
<h2>Stamp duty holiday</h2>
Government policy support is of absolute importance in limiting the economic impact of Covid-19 on the housing market in the UK. The stamp duty holiday until 31st March 2021 for homes up to &pound;500,000 could prove to be a key incentive to kickstart
 the housing market and make up for lost sales. There is a lot of pent up demand for new homes in the UK &ndash; our research shows more people are now looking to move home in the next two years. This stimulus could trigger a stronger than anticipated
 bounce in demand by allowing aspiring purchasers to use their stamp duty saving towards a higher deposit.
The Government has a recent track record of making stamp duty changes to help those on the earlier stages of the housing ladder such as first time buyers. Looking forward we would also encourage the Government to consider stamp duty incentives for older
 people to downsize or right size their homes. There is strong evidence to show that those over the age of 65 simply do not move until such a time as it becomes a necessity, such as needing care. However, over the next 10 years around 25% of the UK
 population will be over the age of 65. Encouraging these people to move into age appropriate homes would free up much needed housing at the other end of the housing ladder.
<h2>The green recovery</h2>
Assisting households with making energy-efficient home improvements will lead to lower energy bills, create job opportunities all over the country and is an important initiative to help deliver a low carbon future for the UK. But the Government still
 needs to lay out the full roadmap to decarbonise all homes across the UK, and it must take responsibility to educate the public that living in a low carbon home is both inherently desirable and an absolute necessity to meet our climate change goals.

Stamp duty tax holiday should trigger stronger than anticipated bounce in house demand

Restrictions lift but rising rates could temper demand amongst some potential buyers 
The Bank of England continues to walk a challenging tightrope, one which some say it stepped onto too late. Global economies continue to struggle with rising inflation, a combination of demand returning following the lifting of covid restrictions alongside
 the implications on food and fuel costs following the war in Ukraine. The Bank of England alongside many global banks is responding by increasing rates in an attempt to counter inflation. &nbsp;
For borrowers, the first week of August provided mixed news. On the first the Bank scrapped the requirement for lenders to impose additional affordability tests on borrowers, announced back in June. But days later, the Bank followed this with further
 increases in the base rate. It has to be said this wasn&rsquo;t a complete surprise, as those in the market were preparing themselves for the prospect of further rises this summer.&nbsp;
On 4th August the Bank announced the first half point rise in 27 years.&nbsp; MPC members voted 8-1 in favour of increasing the base rate to 1.75%<img src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/default-source/agency/microsoftteams-image-(2).png?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=8b3f4186_1" sf-size="100" alt="" />
Of course, in the longer term the intention of this rate rise is to curb inflation, but in the short-term households are facing significant increases in the cost of living driven by food and fuel alongside wage rises which in many cases are not keeping
 pace with household expenditure. &nbsp;
For mortgaged owner occupiers the proliferation of fixed rates loans will add some comfort. In Q1 2022 82% of outstanding mortgage debt was on fixed rates, up from less than a third a decade earlier. But for those looking to buy or re-mortgage recent
 rate rises will mean they pay more. Prior to the August interest rate rise the effective mortgage rate hit 2.15% at the end of June. Up from a low of 1.50% at the end of November 2021 and back to levels last seen in November 2016.&nbsp;
But there hasn&rsquo;t been a seismic shift for many borrowers coming out of longer-term fixed rates, who would not have benefited from the record low rates in 2021. Effective rates for those coming out of a five-year fix in June 2022 (2.15%) only marginally
 higher than in June 2017 (2.05%). Albeit those exiting fixed rates in the coming months will experience a wider gap following the 4th August announcement.<img src="https://residential.jll.ae/images/default-source/agency/microsoftteams-image-(1).png?Status=Master&amp;sfvrsn=d71d87ba_1" sf-size="100" alt="" />
 
 
 
Lifting restrictions
Earlier in the same week, on 1st August, the Bank removed the requirement for lenders to impose an affordability test, which required lenders to assess whether potential borrowers would be able to afford an interest rate hike equivalent to 3%. Which as
 interest rates rise would have meant much tighter affordability criteria for borrowers.
The Loan to Income (LTI) threshold, the more meaningful measure for most borrowers remains.&nbsp; With lenders limited on the number of loans they can issue at more than 4.5X income.&nbsp;
What will this mean for the housing market?
In recent months the UK housing market has continued to defy gravity. Significant increases in energy costs and rising inflation have been with us for some time now, yet house prices have so far appeared immune to rising costs elsewhere in the economy.&nbsp;
 The latest figures from the Nationwide Index show prices nationally rose 11% in June 2022, with regional growth of between 6.0% in London and 14.7% in South West. There are some signs that levels of demand are slowing, but few are reporting price
 falls and agents continue to see demand outstripping supply.
It would be na&iuml;ve to assume rising interest rates will not have some impact on the market. But in the short term it is possible that we will not see as significant an impact as one might expect.&nbsp;
Not all households are being impacted equally.&nbsp; Research by the Institute of Fiscal Studies suggested the poorest 10% of households experienced CPI inflation three percentage points higher than the richest 10%, due in part to these households spending
 a higher proportion of their income on energy and food. It is likely that those households where rising living costs bite the hardest are either renting their homes or are not in a position to move.&nbsp;
Indeed, this could mean we see prices rise further as more affluent households with a larger financial buffer, who usually buy more expensive properties, make up a higher proportion of transacting households.&nbsp;
Where we could see rising costs (living and debt financing) impact most significantly is on transaction volumes. But this too is far from certain, with some households potentially looking to purchase now, anticipating further rate rises or looking to
 take advantage of schemes like Help to Buy. It is also important to remember that 30% of purchases nationally were cash.
Looking ahead
Over the next six months we expect the sustained double-digit growth in prices we&rsquo;ve experienced so far in 2022 will recede as the market settles. But it is important to state that this is expected to be a slowing of growth not a fall in prices.&nbsp;
While some households will be deterred from moving due to higher rates, others will be keen to lock in at current (albeit higher) rates rather than risk further rate rises in the months to come.&nbsp; The ending of the government backed Help to Buy scheme
 in March 2023 also means that we could see a flurry of deals from first time buyers keen to take advantage of the scheme before it closes.&nbsp;
In the longer-term higher interest rates will of course be a barrier to some households. This combined with the end of Help to Buy will undoubtedly impact on first time buyer&rsquo;s ability to enter the market.&nbsp; With higher borrowing costs, rises
 in the cost of living and recent house price appreciation all acting as barriers.&nbsp; Conversely, we expect existing owner occupiers, particularly those buying with cash will increase as a proportion of sales.
Marcus Dixon &ndash; Director of Residential Research at JLL comments:
&ldquo;The UK is not alone in experiencing high rates of inflation, with the Bank of England reacting in the same way as many global banks in imposing multiple rate rises. For households this comes at a difficult time as the cost-of-living squeeze erodes households disposable incomes and adds a layer of uncertainty on future outgoings.&nbsp;
&ldquo;For the housing market the removal of the affordability stress test will add some wriggle room for purchasers and lenders alike, but we expect rate rises alongside and imbalance between wage rises and living costs will combine to deter activity amongst first time buyers and more financially exposed home movers.&rdquo;&nbsp;
