Housing market is up as buyers return

Buyers have flocked back to the housing market since the election, according to a report from property website Zoopla.

The number of people inquiring about buying a home was 26pc higher between December 23 and January 19 than in the same period a year earlier, the report said.

House prices across UK cities were up 3.9pc on a year earlier, the biggest rise for two years. The report is a further sign that there has been a ‘Boris Bounce’ since the general election.

Richard Donnell, research and insight director at Zoopla, said: ‘Households who were holding off moving are returning to the market.’

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
