What is actually happening in the UK housing market?

Half term and the Bank Holiday hit the UK Residential Property Market last week with both property sales and listings falling week-on-week.

Chris Watkin’s special guest this week on the ‘UK Property Market Stats Show’ is Kristian Stott.

Unlike the Land Registry, Halifax and Nationwide indexes, which are already three to eight months out of date, this show focuses on real time property market stats from last week (Monday 29th May to Sunday 4th June 2023  inclusive).

In the last 15 minutes of the show there is a particular look at the Durham property market.
