What’s happening to house prices in Wokingham?

In January, The Land Registry claimed house prices had risen by almost 10% year-on-year. However, as 2022 continues house price growth is likely to slow down. The main reason for the rise in the property market was the UK government’s temporary stamp duty holiday which allowed buyers to save up to £15,000 in tax. Now, after the mini-boom of 2021, the number of property sales each month seems to be more in line with the figures pre-pandemic.

Will the UK Property Market slow down? 

According to sources such as Savills estate agency and Propertymark, there is more demand for properties than there are available on the market. This demand may explain why 80% of UK properties sold for the asking price or above, and it took just an average of 36 days to sell a house in February 2022. Experts currently predict that the UK property market will slow down as 2022 continues although house prices aren’t expected to drop. In fact, Savills predicts an overall house price rise of 3.5% this year and 3% in 2023.

However, mortgage rates are also set to increase after falling in 2021 to entice buyers with large deposits, so you may still be able to get a good mortgage deal.
