- The pandemic property surge – Sales agreed for 2020 surpassed 2019 by over 10% fuelled by a combination of monetary policy (low interest rates), a generous fiscal policy (furlough payments and a stamp duty holiday) and a significant change in consumer preferences (rural locations and additional space).
- The retailers life raft – There are currently over 550,000 property sales agreed, with an estimated value to the economy of home movers in excess of £12 billion per annum according to Aviva (outside of the transaction value). This value is widely considered to add 3% to GDP per annum.
