The UK Property Market Is Not Broken. But Something Is Definitely Blocking It. This week’s UK Property Market Stats Show takes a hard look at Week 33, and beneath the headlines there is a very different story emerging. Buyer demand is still there, stock is plentiful, yet a huge number of homes are simply failing to turn into successful moves. The question is why. Is this really a difficult property market, or have too many homes simply entered the market at the wrong price? We dig into listings, sales agreed, price reductions, fall-throughs and the numbers that show just how dramatically a home’s chances change the longer it sits unsold. Then Steph Vass and myself head to Bath in the second part of the Show, where we put the local Bath estate agents under the microscope. Market share is one thing, but which agents are actually getting their sellers moved, and how big is the difference between them? Some of the numbers are difficult to ignore.
