It’s all set to go very quiet on the sales front, says RICS

House prices are set for a slowdown following the buy-to-let buying rush.

The RICS says that uncertainty will be fuelled by Stamp Duty changes, a weaker pound, Brexit and devolved elections.

The RICS says that only 17% of its members expect to see house prices rise over the next three months, compared with 44% in December.

However, the RICS still expects house prices to rise by over 4% per year for the next five years across England and Wales.

    Hmmm!

    Or to tell it another way.

    London & south East house prices are unsustainably high.

    We have a referendum (but this just keeps the lid on a small portion of market activity) but it will be over in June.

    So it just comes down to income levels v’s house prices.

    Yes there needs to be a correction but all that’s going to happen is flat house prices in the south east and a gradual increase on house prices elsewhere for the next 5 years.
