Residential Market Survey January 2015
Scotland and Northern Ireland Continue to Outperform
• Sales edge up for the second consecutive month
• Rental market remains firm with supply conditions tight
• Balanced national picture hides regional disparities
The RICS Residential Market Survey for January shows a relatively stable picture at the national
level but with demand and supply conditions varying somewhat across different parts of the UK. The
headline price net balance came in at +7, showing a further moderation in the rate of growth with
London still the only area where more respondents are reporting falling rather than rising prices.
Indeed the London reading fell further into negative territory in January with a net balance of 49% of
surveyors seeing prices fall. In contrast, Northern Ireland witnessed the strongest price growth for the
fifth consecutive month with a balance of 47% of respondents reporting rising prices; Scotland
followed close behind with a net balance of 38%.
The RICS new buyer enquiries series recorded it’s seventh consecutive negative reading in January,
although at a value of -5, the contraction in demand appears minimal and the headline reading
continues to mask a very mixed picture across different parts of the UK. Anecdotal evidence from
respondents suggests that a multitude of factors are impacting different markets with political
uncertainty weighing to some extent on all parts, while the stamp duty reforms are already providing
a boost in areas such as the South West and Scotland. Meanwhile, on the supply side of the market
the situation looks broadly unchanged over the month with the headline new instructions balance
recording a value of +3. However, conditions are equally disparate across areas with the market
remaining tight in the North West and South East, while in the South West more properties have
come to market in recent months.
Reflecting the relatively more stable demand picture and undoubtedly helped by the greater
competition from lenders, which has seen mortgage rates fall in recent months, the RICS agreed
sales balance showed a modest increase in January with more areas now seeing some improvement
than at any time since mid-2014. Near-term sales expectations have moderated slightly with a net
balance of 10% of respondents now envisaging an increase over the coming three months, from 19%
previously. However, at the twelve month horizon respondents remain more optimistic that activity
levels will increase, with an unchanged balance of 48% of surveyors still expecting sales to rise.
The London market is the outlier in terms of pricing with the net balance recording its fifth
consecutive negative value and falling to a six year low in January. Near term price expectations for
the capital have also deteriorated with a balance of 24% now envisaging prices falling further over
the coming three months, while at the headline national level prices are expected to remain broadly
stable. However, at the twelve month horizon sentiment remains positive across all areas including
London with respondents, on average, expecting to see a rise of 1.8% over the year to come.
Meanwhile, over the course of the next five years, the average of surveyors forecasts indicates
annual growth in the region of 4% per annum.
In the lettings market, a net balance of 19% of respondents reported a further rise in demand during
the three months to January while supply conditions look to have tightened slightly once again. This
marks the sixth consecutive year of demand outpacing supply. This sustained growth in demand is
putting pressure on rental values and respondents, on average, now envisage rental growth
averaging around 4.6% per annum over the course of the next five years.

• Questions 15-18 are broken down by bedroom number viz. 1-bed, 2-bed, 3-bed, 4-bed or more. Headline readings weighted according to CLG
English Housing Survey.
Net balance data:
• Net balance = Proportion of respondents reporting a rise in prices minus those reporting a fall (if 30% reported a rise and 5%
reported a fall, the net balance will be 25%).
• The net balance measures breadth (how widespread e.g. price falls or rises are on balance), rather than depth (the magnitude of e.g. price
falls or rises).
• Net balance data is opinion based; it does not quantify actual changes in an underlying variable.
• Net balance data can range from -100 to +100.
• A positive net balance implies that more respondents are seeing increases than decreases (in the underlying variable), a negative net balance
implies that more respondents are seeing decreases than increases and a zero net balance implies an equal number of respondents are
seeing increases and decreases.
• Therefore, a -100 reading implies that no respondents are seeing increases (or no change), and a +100 reading implies that no respondents
are seeing decreases (or no change).
• In the case of the RICS price balance, a reading of +10 should not be interpreted as RICS saying that house prices are going up by 10%, but
that 10% more surveyors reported increases rather than decreases in prices (over the last three months).
• A change from +30 to +60 does not mean that the variable grew by 30% in one period and by 60% in the next period, but it does indicate that
twice as many surveyors reported an increase compared to a decrease than in the previous period.
• Likewise, if we get a reading dropping from +90 to +5, this still means that more respondents are reporting increases than decreases overall,
but the breadth of those reporting increases has fallen dramatically; meanwhile, a shift in the reading from -90 to -5 still means that more
respondents are reporting decreases than increases overall, but the breadth of those reporting decreases has fallen dramatically.
Seasonal adjustments:
• The RICS Residential Market Survey data is seasonally adjusted using X-12.
Number of contributors to this month’s survey:
• 346 (corresponding to 598 branches)
Next embargo dates:
• February survey: 12th March 2015 (second Thursday)
• March survey: 16th April 2015 (third Thursday)

370500, smithsgore.co.uk -
There has been a marked
increase in viewings post the
New Year resulting in some
encouraging transactions after
a flat end to 2014 but
generally the market is muted
and we might need to see the
election out of the way before
we really know where we
stand.
Stephen Holland FRICS,
Carter Jonas, Cumbria -
Stuttering start to the year,
second homes doing brisk
business while family homes
are slow. Some pension draw

Alex McNeil, RICS Registered
Valuer, Bramleys,
Huddersfield, 01484 530361,
www.bramleys.com - A

poor and slow. Build costs
very high.

Buoyant start to 2015. The

Parr, Wetherby, 01937
582731,
www.rentonandparr.co.uk -
Good level of activity both in

and demand problem here
which is pushing prices
through the roof.
Mark John Hunter MRICS,
Grice and Hunter, Doncaster,
01302 360141,
wwwgricehunter.co.uk - A
combination of the fact that
the Christmas downturn now
extends well into January, bad
weather conditions and
uncertainties regarding the
forthcoming general election
have all combined to create a
muted start to the year.
Michael Darwin MRICS, M W
Darwin & Sons, Northallerton,
01609 773567, www.darwin-
homes.co.uk - Lack of new
instructions since December

prices as demand remains
firm.

Yorkshire, 01377 253456,
www.ullyotts.co.uk -
Seasonally a very slow
market for the last quarter of

holidays. January however
has seen an improvement
both in terms of listings and
sales. Also more tenant
enquiries.
Peter Shield FRICS, Shield

experienced usual lull in the

the winter weather continues
to put a damper on the
market.

autumn.
Simon N Dee MRICS, Dee
Atkinson & Harrison, Driffield,
01377 241919, www.dee-
atkinson-harrison.co.uk - Lack
of supply is causing a bit of a
vacuum in the sales market
which is resulting in faster
sales for new realistically
priced stock.
North West
Andrew Duncan MNAEA, J B
& B Leach, St Helens, 01744
22816, www.jbbleach.com - A
very positive start to the New
Year so it is all looking good
for 2015.
Chris Cockwill MRICS,
Cockwill & Co, Southport,

0301, venmore.co.uk -
Following the traditional
slowdown in the Christmas
period, general activity is
showing a distinct

- Demand outweighing supply.
John Williams FRICS, MEWI,
Brennan Ayre O'Neill, Wirral,
01513439060, www.b-a-
o.com - A promising start to
2015 with all activity indicators
showing improvement.
Stephen Farnsworth, MRICS,
Greater Manchester - The
regional market continues to
show mixed activity rates and
transaction number outcomes
as high demand areas are
seeing strong prices but
generally most sellers remain
cautious about bringing their
properties to the market.
East Midlands

of year but some activity.
David Hammond FRICS,

767776, www.david-
hammond.co.uk - Good start
to the year in respect of new
buyers enquiries, but very
slow with new properties
coming to the market.
David Hawke FRICS, David
Hawke & Co., Worksop,
01909 531450 - A very
indifferent start to 2015. Very
poor sales and instructions
and a 'fickle' market. Hope it
finds a rhythm in February.
Kirsty Keeton MRICS, Richard
Watkinson & Partners,
Newark, Notts, 01636 611811
- New vendor instructions and
sales have increased
significantly in January
despite inclement weather
conditions. A looming general
election normally provides an
amount of uncertainty in the
market, but as yet, buyers are
not thinking that far ahead.

Mark Newton FRICS, Newton
Fallowell, Grantham, 01476

January started off very slowly
and nerves were jangling, the
second half of the month
caught up and the outlook is
good...until May?
Martin Pendered FRICS,
Martin Pendered & Co Ltd,
Wellingborough, 01933
228822,
www.martinpendered.co.uk -
After a slow December,
January steadily improved
with good sales by the end of
the month. Shortage of new
instructions remains a
problem.
Nick Richardson FRICS,
Nicholas Richardsons, Derby,
0115 96 77 589 - Its
beginning to pick up after
Xmas. I sense people are
concerned about the general
election. There might be a
surge prior to it. Base rates
will depend on who gets in!
Nigel Paterson FRICS, Estate
Agents Lincolnshire,
Skegness, 01754882333,

A good start to the year in
terms of activity and sales but
instructions harder to come
by.
Peter Buckingham, Andrew
Granger & Co, Market
Harborough, 01858 431315,
www.andrewgranger.co.uk - A
tough start to the year with the
lowest available stock levels
for a considerable period.
However, the signs are that
there is pent up demand, and
fresh instructions are starting
to flow - and sell!
Peter E. Mountain FRICS,
Peter Mountain Estate
Agents, Louth, 01507 603366,
pmountain@petermountain.co
.uk - A very quiet January.
Usually a month where many
valuations are done and
properties put on but not in
2015. Sales very
disappointing as well.
Quentin Jackson-Stops
FRICS, Jackson-Stops &
Staff, Northampton, 01604
632991, www.jackson-
stops.co.uk - January proved
to be the busiest for years
with a good number of new
instructions and more than
usual sales agreed,
particularly in the £400,000 to
£650,000 bracket.
Steve Gadsby BSc FRICS,
Gadsby Nichols, Derby,
01332 296396,
www.gadsbynichols.co.uk -
General increases in all
sectors ie; new enquiries,
listings and sales. Still a
shortage of new listings but
confidence levels improving.
West Midlands
A Champion FRICS, Halls,
Worcester, 01905 726444 -
Plenty of new instructions
across the entire market to
start the year. Already seen
some strong deals come
together and plenty of new
applicants registering interest.
Andrew Grant FRICS, Andrew
Grant LLP, Worcester,
www.andrew-grant.co.uk -
New instructions are relatively
short in supply compared with
sales and stock is slowly
diminishing. Prices could rise
as a result.
Colin Townsend MRICS, John
Goodwin, Malvern, 01684
892809,
www.johngoodwin.co.uk -
Market still a bit sluggish. Not
enough new instructions to
replace the stock that was
sold prior to Christmas.
Ian Bullock MRICS, Carpenter
Surveyors Ltd, Birmingham,
0845 644 6691,
www.carpenter-
surveyors.com - Noted lack of
new property coming on to the
market with a general
slowdown over festive period.
John Andrews FRICS IRRV,
Doolittle & Dalley,
Kidderminster, 01562 821600
- An improvement noted
following quiet Christmas
period. More buyer enquiries
and more pre-sale appraisals,
indicating that as spring
approaches, the market will
generally improve further.
Doolittle & Dalley, Bridgnorth,
01562 821600 - Enquiries
starting to increase as more
property comes for sale.
Higher enquiries from
vendors, although more
instructions needed. Prospect
of general election may
dampen property sales
market.
Doolittle & Dalley, Bewdley,
01562 821600 - More
enquiries since Christmas but
as yet few new properties
coming to the market. Interest
generally in property sales is
building and expected to
continue into the spring.
Doolittle & Dalley, Stourport,
01562 821600 - A quiet sales
market after Christmas with
some pre-sale appraisals.
More property needed for sale
as demand evident but
suppressed due to lack of
stock.
John Ozwell FRICS, Hunters,
Solihull, 01564 771000 - The
usual New Year surge in
sales and listings has not
materialised due presumably
to uncertainty over the
election.
Mike Arthan FRICS, Barbers,
Shropshire - Promising start
to the year. More stock
needed.
Richard Franklin BSc Hons
MRICS, Franklin Gallimore,
Tenbury Wells - Very busy
sales period leading into the
holiday has been maintained
into the New Year. Shortage
of good quality stock coupled
with wait and see tactics
driven by pending election.
Ryan Williams, McCartneys,
Hay-on-Wye, 01497 820 778,
www.mccartneys.co.uk - More
enquiries and activity but still
an oversupply of properties
when compared with the
number of buyers in a position
to proceed. We expect the
traditional spring surge in new
instructions but prices look
very unlikely to be any
stronger.
Stephen Smith MRICS,
Fraser Wood, Walsall, 01922
629000 - Unfortunately we are
still experiencing surveyors
indicating that properties are
"zero value" due to them not
being prepared to put a value
on a property that has been
sold. This is becoming an
increasing trend and is not
helping the market improve.
East Anglia
Alan Williams, Fenn Wright,
Colchester, 01206 216551,

fairly positive start to the New
Year with pre-election jitters

Bedfords, Burnham Market-
North Norfolk, 01328 730500,

year is no different. However,
sales and instruction levels
have improved in the second
half.

Stowmarket, 01449 612364 -
A steady start to 2015,
particularly good interest in
buy to let property.
David Knights MRICS, David
Brown, Ipswich, 01473
222266 - After a slow
Christmas period the market
has come back to life
gradually although there is still
a shortage of new
instructions.
Jan Hytch FRICS, Arnolds,
Norwich, 01603 620551 - A
strong start to 2015. Too early
to call what effects the bad
weather will have as we are
yet to see any.
Jeffrey Hazel FRICS,
Geoffrey Collings & Co, King's
Lynn, 01553 774135 - Steady
demand but very limited
supply of property.
Mark Wood, Bradshaws,
Cambridge, 01223 403330,
www.bradshawsresidential.co.

although last 10 days has
seen increase in activity,
particularly with valuations,
new instructions and
viewings.

Nigel Steele FRICS, Jackson-
Stops & Staff, Norwich, 01603
stops.co.uk - Buyers are
waiting to see what is coming
to the market. Price is still the
key with strong activity lower
down but little movement at
the upper end.
Ollie Peacock BSc MRICS,
Jackson-Stops and Staff, Bury
St Edmunds, 01284 700535,
www.jackson-stops.co.uk -

encouraging amount of
activity in January, but the
election looms !

Scott and Knight, Bury St
Edmunds, 01284 748600,

has taken a while to get going
this year but activity is slowly
starting to happen
W J Hartnell FRICS, Simon
Matthew & Co., Ingatestone,
01277 355255 - Sales have
been slow since December
2014. Some owners have
reduced prices to obtain
sales. The market will be slow
until the election.
South East
Anthony Jamieson MRICS,
Clarke Gammon Wellers,
Guildford, 01483 880905 - A
busy January and good start
to the year, over £7,000,000
worth of sales agreed. Lots of
applicant registrations, over
100 in January alone.
C Rutland FRICS, Rutland
Chartered Surveyors,
Southampton, 023 8066 3451,
rutland-surveyors.co.uk
surveyorlymington.co.uk - The
market is slow but improving
in terms of instructions. Agent
registers are historically small
with little choice - only 7 in
one case. The is now a factor.
Beyond it, there is likely to be
a surge in activity but with
modest price increases.
Chris Gooch MRICS, Carter
Jonas, Winchester - We
expect good activity as
vendors and buyers focus on
their moving plans prior to the
distraction of the general
election.
David Parish FRICS, Gates
Parish & Co., Upminster,
01708 250033 - High level of
interest from prospective
buyers. Property selling
readily but still a shortage of
new instructions.
Hugh Tucknott, Parsons Son

01273 326171,
www.psandb.co.uk - General
activity is up this month, but
that is in comparison to
December which is always a
quiet month. I think the first
half of this year may be
affected by the upcoming
election.
Ian M Denton MRICS FAAV,
Jackson-Stops & Staff,
Woburn, 01525 290641,
Already experiencing a more
cautious market in 2015 and
with the general election in
May, it is looking like the
spring market will be a slow
one for new instructions.
Ian Perry FRICS, Perry
Bishop and Chambers,
Faringdon, Lechlade,
Highworth, Witney,
Shrivenham, 01285 655355,
www.perrybishop.co.uk - A
good start to the year with
valuations and applicants on
the rise. Britain is getting
ready to move.
James Crawford BSc MRICS,
Knight Frank, London, Home
Counties 0207 861 1065,
knightfrank.com - The SDLT
increase deadline pushed
some sales to exchange pre-
Christmas but market
confidence and activity is
down.
James Farrance MNAEA,
FARLA, Braxton,
Maidenhead, 01628 674234,
www.braxtons.co.uk - A
marked surge in new

Counties, Herefordshire and
Powis, 01344408100,

2015 has started as 2014 did.
John Frost MRICS, The Frost
Partnership, Amersham,
01494 680909, frostweb.co.uk
- Low instructions - good
sales
Partnership, Beaconsfield,
- The market is starting to
become more active. Prices
still have to be correct as
buyers are not willing to pay
too much. Some vendor
expectations are still too high.
Partnership, Burnham, 01494
680909, frostweb.co.uk - The
market shows signs of now
becoming more active and
new instructions are required
to start the market moving.
Partnership, Gerrards Cross,
- Upper market more affected
by impending election. Lower
market still strong. MMR still
an issue on marginal cases.
Partnership, Langley, 01494
680909, frostweb.co.uk -
There has been a slow start
but there are new signs that
the market place has started
to become more active with
increased appraisals leading
to better level of instructions.
Partnership, Staines, 01494
Market may be slow due to
anniversary of floods last year
and election coming up in
May.
Partnership, Windsor, 01494
680909, frostweb.co.uk - The
market has had a quiet start
and there has been a lack of
instructions coming to the
market. Much of the stock
from last year is overpriced.
The applicants currently are
being cautious and there is a
lack of commitment.
Martin Seymour BSc FRICS,
Crow Watkin, Reigate, 01737
245886 - More instructions
and greater activity, as would
be expected. Demand
remains fairly measured. Duty
changes seem to have
benefitted most buyers.
Peter Mockett FRICS, Hilbery
Chaplin Residential, Romford,
01708 732732,
hilberychaplin.co.uk - Prices
have stalled partly because of
mortgage restrictions but
mainly because buyers rightly
feel that houses have
outpriced themselves and the
market is taking a breather.
Philip Hiatt MRICS, Your
Move Philip Hiatt, East
Grinstead, 01342 321142,
www.your-move.co.uk/
eastgrinstead - Busy sales
month and a much better start
to the New Year than 2014.
More stock starting to come
on the market and activity
against all measures looking
promising. Election so far not
having any effect.
Robert Sumner BSc FRICS,
Sumner Pridham, Tunbridge
Wells - There is a serious
shortage of property coming
on to the market. The only
consolation is that all the
other local agents are short of
instructions.
South West
David J Dark FRICS, Seldons
Estate Agents, Bideford,
01237477997,
www.seldons.co.uk - The
market has quickly picked up
after the Christmas break so
that January has proved to be
an excellent month for both
new instructions and agreed
sales. The changes in Duty
have been a definite boost to
the market.
David McKillop FRICS,
McKillop and Gregory,
Salisbury, 01722 414747 - A
slow start to the year, but then
it got much busier and now it
has slowed again. Too early
to say what effect Stamp Duty
changes will have.
Graham Thorne, Thornes
Chartered Surveyors, East
Dorset, 01202-684004,
wwww.thornes.org.uk - A very
good completion month in
December but depleted
pipeline into the New Year.
Good instruction month in
January.

11
Cheltenham, Cirencester,
Nailsworth, Stroud, Tetbury,
01285 655355,
www.perrybishop.co.uk - A
good start to the New Year
with increased valuations and
applicants. Britain is getting
ready to move.
James Wilson MRICS,
Jackson - Stops and Staff,
Shaftesbury, 01747 850858,
We have had an encouraging
response to new January
instructions.
Jeff Cole MRICS, Cole
Rayment & White,
Wadebridge, 01208813595,
www.crw.co.uk - A fairly
positive start to the year but
sales are down slightly due to
a busier November and
December caused by the
Stamp Duty changes and a
shortfall of stock. Instructions
are now coming in as we
would expect at this time of
year.
John Corben FRICS FCIArb,
Corbens, Swanage, 01929,
corbens.co.uk - An optimistic
start to the year, January has
shown an earlier upturn in
new instructions and sales
than predicted.
Mark Annett FRICS, Mark
Annett & Company, Chipping
Campden, 01386 841622 -
We have been busy. Lots
going on. The market is still
price sensitive but the right
property at the right price
attracts competition.
Mark Lewis FRICS, Symonds
& Sampson, Sturminster
Newton, 01258 472244 -
Interest from developers has
been strong in January and
this renewed confidence is
refreshing. We are continually
out valuing property for
matrimonial purposes. Time of
year?
Matthew Harvey MRICS,
Tayler and Fletcher,
Cotswolds, 01451820913,
taylerandfletcher.co.uk - Lack
of supply running in to the
New Year has helped
maintain prices across the
region. A surprisingly good
steady market.
Michael Dukes MRICS,
Greenslade Taylor Hunt,
Taunton, 01823 277121,
www.gth.net - A strong start to
the year after a limp finish to
2014. Some signs that the
upper-middle end from
£700K+ is at long last getting
some fresh interest. We are
cautiously optimistic on the
sales front despite this being
an election year.
OF Miles FRICS, Oliver Miles,
Swanage, 01929 426655 -
The New Year has started off
very strongly with a good level
of inquiries and viewings. New
instructions are still a bit thin
on the ground. There are
plenty of offers but vendors
generally holding out for
higher prices.
Piers Whiting MRICS,
Luscombe Maye, Totnes -
After a good level of sales in
2014, we are short of stock
and new sellers are slow
coming to the market while
the number of new applicants
we're registering is increasing.
Richard Addington MRICS,
Savills, Exeter - Seasonal lull
in activity is already showing
signs of picking up.
Roger Punch FRICS, Stags,
Plymouth, 01752 223933,
www.stags.co.uk - A
remarkably positive start to
the year with agreed sales
well up on January 2014. It
appears that the Stamp Duty
changes that took place in
November have stimulated
the market, certainly up to the
roughly £600,000 level.
Rupert Geering MNAEA,
MARLA, AssocRICS, Devon
Sales and Lettings Limited,
Crediton, Devon,
www.dsalproperty.com -
Plenty of over optimistic
vendors and price sensitive
buyers at the moment! The
revision in Stamp Duty has
increased interest levels,
especially from the 'squeezed
middle'.
Simon Cooper FRICS, Stags,
Exeter, 01392 255202,
stags.co.uk - January has
been an incredibly quiet
month, can't really understand
why.
Stephen Morris MRICS,
Davies & Way, Bristol & Bath,
01225 400400,
www.daviesandway.com - A
reasonable start to the year,
with marked stock shortages
in some price ranges. Prices
appear to be continuing to rise
and asking prices certainly
are!
Wales
Anthony Filice FRICS, Kelvin
Francis Ltd., Cardiff,
02920766538,
www.kelvinfrancis.com -
Unexpected slow start after
Xmas, although in last week
of January the number of new
buyers and listings has begun
to increase.
Carys Morris CPEA FNAEA,
Dafydd Hardy, Caernarfon,
Gwynedd, North Wales,
01286 677774,
www.dafyddhardy.co.uk - Had
a good year until September
2014. Demand has increased
since January 2015 - believe
Stamp Duty will have a good
impact for us
David E Baker FRICS, David
Baker Co Ltd., Penarth,
02920 702622 - More clients
are putting their houses on
the market for sale. More
people are also looking but
prices are not increasing. The
market is now more positive
but a lot will depend on
mortgage valuations.
David James FRICS, James
Dean, Brecon, 01874 624757,
jamesdean4property.co.uk -
Busy with viewings although
sales down on one year ago.
David Owen Evans RICS,
Clare Evans & Co, Rhayader,
01597 810457,
www.clareevansandco.co.uk -
Interest in properties has
exploded in January and
viewing numbers are
excellent.
Melfyn N Williams BSc Hons
MRICS, Williams & Goodwin,
Anglesey, 01248751000,
www.tppuk.com - Looking
forward to the traditional
increase the spring market
brings.
Nigel Jones FRICS, John
Francis, Carmarthen, 01267
221554,
www.johnfrancis.co.uk -
Business levels in January
very much at the same level
for 2014 so too soon to see
an 'election year' impact.
Paul Lucas FRICS, R.K.Lucas
& Son, Haverfordwest,
01437762538,
www.rklucas.co.uk - The
market remains quite flat
following the Christmas
period. Imminent national
changes in internet
advertising are likely to
polarise property marketing
techniques and results over
the next few months.
London
Brendon Thomas MRICS,
Maitlands Acorn Professional
Ltd, Tower Hamlets/Hackney/
City/Newham, 08456344187,
www.mapsurveyors.co.uk -
Feedback from various agents
is that new enquiries are high
with lack of stock to meet this
demand. This together with
other factors is creating strong
momentum.
Charlotte Holdsworth, Daniel
Watney, London - We saw a
definite slowdown in the run
up to Christmas but since the
New Year things have
definitely picked up. We
expect things to slow down
again now until the election is
over.
Christopher Green FRICS,
Curzon Land, London, 020
7720 6800 - I have found
some sellers who will take
substantial (20%) discount
from advertised price.
I J Fergusson BSc FRICS,
Shepherd Chartered
Surveyors, London,
www.shepherd.co.uk -
Christmas and New Year
period affected market activity
as expected and as January
ends, sales activity is picking
up.
James Gubbins MRICS,
Dauntons, Pimlico, 020
78348000,
www.dauntons.co.uk - Activity
has returned to the market
after the holiday break. Offers
are coming in on property but
these are not as bullish as
they were last year and are
below asking prices.

12
James Perris, MRCIS, De
Villiers, London, 0207 7887
6009, www.devilliers-
surveyors.co.uk - Activity
remains fairly subdued with
demand likely to be patchy
partly until the spring market
but more realistically until
after the election.
Jeffrey Doble MRICS,
Thamesview (Incl. Dexters
Estate Agents), Twickenham,
020 8614 1228 - Very strong
start to the year in sales and
lettings.
Jeremy Leaf FRICS, Jeremy
Leaf & Co, Finchley - New
Year bounce working well!
Stamp Duty reforms and low
mortgage rates driving record
viewing numbers especially
for sub-£1m property.
Encouragingly, listings up
strongly too so more
sustainable recovery
expectations.
John J. King FRICS, Andrew
Scott Robertson, Wimbledon,
0208971 4990, www.as-
r.co.uk - Good start to the
year with viewings and offers
up from last month, although
sales are down by 50% from
this time last year.
Scott Robertson, Merton,
0208971 4990, www.as-
r.co.uk - A testing period
between now and Easter.
Vendors undecided,
purchasers testing the market
with offers well below asking
prices. If upsizing, a good
time to buy.
Keith Barnfield FRICS,
Barnfields, Enfield, 020 8363
3394 - A busy start to the
year, with a significant
increase in instructions. There
is currently a good balance
between buyers and sellers.
Paul Whitley, R Whitley & Co.,
West Drayton, 01895 442711
- We are carrying out a high
level of valuations but the
number of homes that are
actually coming to the market
is low and are mainly divorce
or probate sales. Demand is
high in particular from
investors who realise that
Crossrail will boost prices.
Peter Rollings FRICS, Marsh
& Parsons, London,
02088463496,
www.marshandparsons.co.uk
- A 'steady as she goes'
month. Buyers not in large
numbers but very focussed on
making a move.
Robert Green MRICS, John D
Wood & Co., Chelsea, 020
7352 1484 - We have seen a
healthy pick-up in new buyers
from the start of the year.
Vendors with realistic
expectations at most price
levels are seeing good
activity. First time buyer
registrations are up due to
attractive borrowing rates and
SDLT reform.
Simon Aldous MRICS, Savills,
London, 02070163861,
savills.com - With the
changes to SDLT there were
price falls at the higher end of
the market. The market under
£2m has however been very
strong. We now seeing
cautious buyers and reduction
in applicant levels in central
London.
Scotland
Adrian Stott MRICS, J and E
Shepherd, East Lothian,
01316533456 - Stamp Duty
changes appear to have given
some uplift to transactions at
the margin. Still have supply
issues with some pent up
demand.
Alastair Houlden MRICS,
Rettie and Co, Scotland, 0131
220 4160, www.rettie.co.uk -
The sales market in
December and January has
been busy with activity above
average with the New Land
and Buildings Transaction Tax
to be introduced in April
focusing purchasers thoughts.
It is likely that this momentum
will continue.
Alex Inglis MRICS, CKD
Galbraith, Scottish Borders,
01573 224 244,
www.ckdgalbraith.co.uk -
2015 has started well with
some properties selling for
prices in excess of
expectations. It appears that
the proposed reopening of the
Waverley Rail link between
Galashiels and Edinburgh in
September is starting to affect
the Galashiels market.
Andrew Hitchen BSc MRICS,
J & E Shepherd, Stirling,
01786 450438,
www.shepherd.co.uk -
Encouraging indicators! New
buyer enquiries, completed

increase.
Craig Henderson MRICS,
Graham & Sibbald, Glasgow
and West Scotland, 0141 332
1194, www.g-s.co.uk - Many
sellers and buyers are asking
about the implications of
LBTT on property sales.There
is real appetite from sellers/
buyers of the higher priced
properties to complete deals
beforethe end March 2015.
Eric H Curran FRICS, DM Hall
LLP, Glasgow, 0141 332
8615, www.dmhall.co.uk -
Low interest rates and
government backed schemes
continue to help support
house owning expectations.
MMR remains difficult for
some to satisfy.
Gillian Munro MRICS,
Graham and Sibbald,
Glasgow and Renfrewshire,
01418893251 - As we start
the New Year, business has
picked up after the seasonal
lull. Approaching April
changes to Stamp Duty and
introduction to LBTT in
Scotland will impact on higher
value sales.
Gordon Macdonald FRICS,
Allied Surveyors Scotland,
Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire.,
01224 5761163,
www.alliedsurveyorsscotland.
com - Properties for sale
increasing for seasonal
factors and the Stamp Duty
'window'. The benefits for this
will disappear in April. Current
job insecurity locally as a
consequence of oil industry
issues are likely to affect
market confidence.
Graham Tonner, Graham +
Sibbald, Dundee,
01382200064, www.g-s.co.uk
- January has seen a steady
start to the year in both sales
and properties coming to the
market. As we move into
February/March, I would
expect to see these figures
increase and the market to
move ahead of 2014 levels.
Grant Robertson MRICS,
Allied Surveyors, Glasgow,
0141 330 9950 - The market
has started briskly in 2015.
Instructions for home reports
have risen sharply in
comparison with 2014. Sales
also positive with low stock
levels and continuing
demand.
Greg Davidson MRICS,
Graham + Sibbald, Perth,
01738 445733, www.g-s.co.uk
- Uncertainty over the
introduction of LBTT and
Stamp Duty has stalled some
sectors of the market but the
underlying trend is a positive
one and I am anticipating an
increase in transactions for
most markets particularly for
an affordable family home.
Iain Swayne BSc FRICS, D M
Hall, Dunfermline and
Environs, 01383 621262 -
Properties continue to sell.
More high valued properties
coming to the market to try
and sell before increase of
LBTT in April. Expecting a
busy February.
Hall, Kinross, 01383 621262 -
Properties on the market are
still selling if correctly priced.
Still sluggish with properties
coming to the market.
Ian Morton BSc (Hons) MLE
MRICS, Bradburne & Co., St
Andrews, 01334 479 479 -

being balanced by an
increase in properties offered
for sale. New instructions
have risen significantly and
viewings increased.
Kevin MacDonald MRICS,
Graham + Sibbald, Inverness,
01463 236977, www.g-s.co.uk
- 2015 has started on a
positive note with more new
property coming to the
market. The current Stamp
Duty status is assisting
transition through the market
and consequently upper price
properties are gaining more
interest than previously
experienced.
Martin Douglas BSc (Hons)
MRICS, Graham + Sibbald,
Hamilton, 01698422500,
www.g-s.co.uk - The

there is a lot of positive talk
among the property
professionals.

www.g-s.co.uk - After the
uncertainty caused by
changes to Stamp Duty and
LBTT, the market is returning
to a more stable condition.
The signs are that there is a
confidence in the market that
has not been present for
some time.
Richard A Clowes MRICS,
DM Hall LLP, Scottish
Borders, 01896 7520009,
www.dmhall.co.uk - A busy
start to the year with agents
reporting good levels of
activity for January. Hopefully
the snow will stay away and
allow the market to gain some
traction over the next couple
of months.
Robbie Buchanan MRICS,
Graham + Sibbald, Kirkcaldy,
01592 266211, www.g-s.co.uk

slight uplift.
Rory Ballantyne BSc (Hons)
MRICS, Ballantynes,
Edinburgh, 0131 459 2222,
www.ballantynes.uk.com -
Continued drive in both
demand and supply helped by
the new Stamp Duty levels
brought in and the proposed
LBTT. Expect the market to
push on until the expected
slowdown due to the election.

We are optimistic that 2015
will show continuing signs of
recovery in the residential
market and January has
already seen a positive
number of home report
instructions.
William Murphy MRICS,
Cruden Homes (East) Ltd,
Edinburgh, 0131 442 5775 -
The uncertainty of the Land
Buildings Transaction tax has
had a negative effect at the
top end of our market. The
recent change will assist.

01377 241919, www.dee-
atkinson-harrison.co.uk - A
few accidental landlords are
now trying to resell their
property due to the slightly
more buoyant sales market.
This is causing a dip in the

Stephen Barber, Countrywide
Residential Lettings, Stafford,
01785 212112 - Market
remains very strong and great
start to 2015.
629000 - A very busy start to
the year! Multiple applications
for many properties.
East Anglia
Stowmarket, 01449 612364 -
Still strong demand.
Norwich, 01603 620551 -
Demand leading up to
Christmas fell away but has
picked up in the New Year.
More tenants are failing
referencing due to insufficient
funds.
stops.co.uk - Still strong
demand for good properties at
the right price.
01277 355255 - Market has
been slow since October
2014. Prices are high and we
have found some tenants
have moved back with
parents.
South East
01708 250033 - Good
demand for flats and small
houses. Larger properties
more difficult to let.
FARLA, Braxton,
www.braxtons.co.uk -
Demand from tenants has
been strong given that this
period of the year is usually
historically a little slower.
Powis, 01344408100,
chancellors.co.uk - Rent rises
slowed in the last quarter on
the seasonal curve. 2015
activity ahead of 2014.
Jeremy Q Fisher, The Frost
Partnership, Beaconsfield,
07776 297202,
www.frostweb.co.uk -
Beaconsfield has a busy start
to the year with the quality of
tenants improving. Still need
more new stock.
Partnership, Feltham, 07776
297202, www.frostweb.co.uk -
Feltham is still extremely busy
with tenant activity but very
hand to mouth with new stock.
07776 297202,
www.frostweb.co.uk -
Gerrards Cross has seen a
busy start to 2015 with
viewing levels at the highest
for some time. Still need more
new stock.
Partnership, Langley, 07776
Langley is experiencing great
tenant demand but the quality
is very mixed with a lot not
passing referencing.
Partnership, Staines, 07776
Staines has seen a very busy
start to 2015 with buy to let
activity picking up. Tenant
demand also very strong.
Partnership, Windsor, 07776
Windsor has had a very busy
last 3 months with 2015
starting in the same way with
good tenant and landlord
enquires.
Partnership, Amersham,
- Low instructions - good lets.
Partnership, Burnham, 01494
More instructions coming
available and good level of
viewings.
- Still healthy at lower end.
01708 732732,
hilberychaplin.co.uk - The
letting market continues to be
active but this is due to an
acute shortage of instructions
Stuart Gray MRICS FAAV,
Strutt & Parker LLP, St
Albans, 01727 840285,
www.struttandparker.com -
The market has picked up
swiftly after the Christmas/
New Year slowdown - strong
demand from tenants
Tom White MRICS, Audley
End Estate, Saffron Walden -
Demand has picked up in the
New Year with quality tenants
seeking decent property
South West
corbens.co.uk - The rental
stock is depleted with many
waiting tenants.
Campden, 01386 841622 -
Demand seems down as are
landlord instructions. Having
said that, buyers who have
sold still want short terms lets
before they buy again.
Cotswolds, 01451820913,
taylerandfletcher.co.uk -
Again lack of supply coupled
to good tenant demand has
seen a positive shift in rents
and rapid turnover of property.
Rosie Phelps, Cooper &
Tanner, Warminster, 01985
219188 - Rents seem to be
creeping up more than last
year.
Crediton, Devon,
www.dsalproperty.com - Post
Christmas, a lot of lettings
activity. I've also noticed a
sudden surge on investors
that haven't taken out
pensions looking to build
retirement funds - possibly in
part because of the auto
enrolment of pensions raising
awareness.
Exeter, 01392 255202,
stags.co.uk - A very busy
month with new enquiries to
rent. Still a shortage of
instructions. Top end a little
quiet still.
Wales
02920766538,
www.kelvinfrancis.com -
Continued demand for 2
bedroomed properties, which
exceeds supply, leading to
early lets.
01286 677774,
www.dafyddhardy.co.uk -
Depends on the sales market,
flexibility of mortgage and
deposit. Expectation is strong
as first time buyers are still
struggling and lack of houses.
Dale James, Clee, Swansea,
www.ctf-uk.com - The
demand for student HMO
houses has dropped by 25%
in Swansea this year.
01597 810457,
www.clareevansandco.co.uk -
The lettings market is
excellent and we need more
properties to satisfy demand.

16
Anglesey, 01248751000,
www.tppuk.com - Quality
property remains in good
demand.
221554,
www.johnfrancis.co.uk - Good
stock is hard to find and 'flying
out' and some stock that has
been sticking has moved in
January. An encouraging start
to the year.
01437762538,
www.rklucas.co.uk - I am
concerned that some letting
agents do not seem to be
aware of the recent changes
in legislation relating to
lengths of term as far as
assured shorthold tenancy
notices are concerned when
linked to the retention of
deposits against damage.
London
Watney, London - Lettings
slowed down in the run up to
Christmas but they have
picked up again since the
New Year and have been
steady since.
Shepherd Chartered
Surveyors, London,
www.shepherd.co.uk - New
supply is being offered from
build to rent sector and tenant
demand intense for these new
build dwellings - rents
therefore reflect high demand
78348000,
www.dauntons.co.uk - A slow
start to the year in terms of
prospective tenants but they
have now got their act into
gear and the market is once
again busy.
Leaf & Co, Finchley - Good
tenant demand but shortage
of property to let has
continued in January although
instruction numbers beginning
to rise
John Collard MRICS, Robert
Holmes & Co, Wimbledon,
0208 879 9669,
www.robertholmes.co.uk -
After a slow end to 2014,
January 2015 is much more
buoyant and a promising start
to the year ahead.
Scott Robertson, Wimbledon,
0208971 4990, www.as-
r.co.uk - Instructions and
enquires are better than
expected. With higher Stamp
Duty and tax levels directed at
non doms who own
properties, we expect a
greater number of overseas
potential purchasers
becoming tenants instead.
Scott Robertson, Merton,
0208971 4990, www.as-
r.co.uk - Better than expected
start. The letting market will
grow this year as the cost to
buy and tax reforms affecting
overseas buyers will become
a factor and make it cheaper
to rent than buy.
- Demand is high but the
number of good quality homes
coming onto the market in
January was disappointingly
low. Our management
department is finding that
tenancies are being extended
on a regular basis.
& Parsons, London,
02088463496,
- As always a busy end to the
month as pay day approaches
following a long Christmas
break allowing tenants to
make decisions.
London, 02070163861,
savills.com - Over 2014, there
were small increases in
average rents across prime
London, strongest growth in
central areas and east of City.
Scotland
8615, www.dmhall.co.uk - As
long as house purchase
remains unaffordable for
some there will be a strong
demand for letting. Mobility of
employment will also underpin
the letting market.
Fraser G Crichton, Dove
Davies & Partners, Edinburgh,
01312283999,
www.dovedavies.com - There
is a limited supply of quality
property to let in Edinburgh,
particularly close to the city
centre. This had led to an
increase in rental levels over
the last 12 to 18 months
01224 5761163,
com - No sign of any
slackening of demand for flats
but houses may be less in
demand over the next few
months as oil industry issues
work through the system.
0141 330 9950 - The trend of
accidental landlords now
being able to exit the rental
market due to sales
conditions continues
unabated especially in the
larger 3/4 bed family units
driving up rentals in this
sector.
Andrews, 01334 479 479 -
Still a steady demand from
tenants and lack of available
properties in some sectors.
Buy to let investors are
returning to market.
John Gell MRICS, Simply Let,
Inverness, 01463 718888,
www.simplylet.biz - A busy
January with increased tenant
activity after the pre-
Christmas lull. Notable
increase in landlords
preparing to sell, whether in
response to market
improvement or Scot.Gov.
tenancy proposals. It's too
soon to tell.
Martin Douglas BSc (Hons)
Hamilton, 01698422500,
www.g-s.co.uk - The rental
market within the main
centres has shown a positive
start to the year.
Neil Woodhead FRICS
FARLA, Castle Estates,
Renfrewshire - Very brisk start
to the New Year to make up
for slow market to the end of
2014.
Northern Ireland
Belfast, 02890662366,
www.gocestateagents.com -
The rental market is strong
albeit not enough stock so we
see a lift in rental values.
There are a number of people
renewing their leases which
narrows the room for new
prospective tenants.
Belfast, 02890652211,
www.samueldickey.com -
Rentals are still strong and
will get busier as we get away
from January
Siobhan Phillips, Best
Property Services, Newry,
02830266811 - Higher
volumes of enquiries for long
term rental property. Higher
demand for 3-4 bedroomed
semi-detached and 4
bedroomed detached houses
in Newry City centre and
within a 5 mile radius of the
city centre.
