20% dip in transactions reported across England and Wales – with worst in London and south-east
Monday, October 16, 2017
There were 20% fewer transactions across England and Wales last month compared with September last year.
LSL and Acadata put the total number of transactions in September in England and Wales at 63,000, down a fifth on the same month last year.
Annual house price growth also slowed, LSL and Acadata jointly reported this morning.
The average house price was £297,287, down just 0.1% on the previous month with annual house price inflation standing at 1.3%.
However, the slowdown was almost entirely led by London the south-east.
Stripping out these regions, annual house price growth was 3.3%, while in Wales the market is strengthening with transactions holding steady.
Oliver Blake, managing director of LSL brands Your Move and Reeds Rains, said: “Despite slowing price growth, particularly in the southern regions, the north continues to report positive results.
“The future, however, will rely heavily on stock availability, and with housing clearly on the political agenda, what government support may be offered to those looking to buy.”
Regions with house price growth included the north-west but not the north-east.
While Greater London, the south-east and the east of England all showed average prices falling away, the south-west had average house prices rising.
We were really impressed by Kremer Signs and how quickly they could get our boards printed and delivered to our board movement providers. All the staff that we dealt with are extremely friendly. I worked closely with Ryan Little and Sam Collins - both very helpful and quick at responding. Thank you for your help - we are super happy with our boards from Kremer Signs.

The process of ordering boards for my company New Door Real Estate was so easy from the get go with Kremer Signs! I was kept informed every step of the way by Nick and Ryan and I really couldn't fault them. Great customer service and the quality of the boards is brilliant. We're really happy with them!

Delivered in great time
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kremer Signs (especially Ryan Little) for getting me set up with my dream for sale signs. As a very new independent estate agent, I was reassured with the great customer service and the fact I was looked after from start to finish. Really happy with the finished product which was delivered in great time too. Thanks again, I will be back for more (hopefully soon)!
