Regional Property Market Update Summer 2021: North West and North Wales

2021 is set to be one of the busiest sales years in over a decade

Agents report the sales to stock ratios across the North West and Wales are at a record high (RICS). Across the North West and North Wales, the annual rate of housing stock turnover is 3.4%, on par with the UK average. The most active market is currently Cheshire East, where levels exceed 4%.

Price growth strengthens

Although new instructions to the market have improved slightly in recent weeks, demand continues to outpace supply, placing sustained pressure on prices. Month-on-month average property prices are rising in all regions of the UK.

Year-on-year price growth across the North West and Wales is substantially stronger than the 3.7% and 4.5% respectively recorded this time a year ago (UKHPI). Double-digit annual price growth is evident in over two-thirds of local areas in the North West and North Wales.

A seller’s market

Market activity is fast-paced. According to Rightmove, the average time taken to sell a property in the North West and North Wales region is 42 days. The proportion of properties selling within their first week of listing is at a record high (Zoopla) and the average time taken to sell a property in the UK is nearly three weeks quicker than in April 2019 (Rightmove). Lifestyle change continues to drive demand, buyers also aided by the extension of elements of tax relief and the new 95% government-backed mortgage guarantee scheme, available on either new or resale properties.
