It seems that nothing is cemented to stable ground these days, well not like it used to be anyway. Or are we just imagining it? Politics, the war, the economy. A stockbroker client of ours once said that there’s always something spooky around the corner. Everything is always in flux. Perhaps it’s human nature to create drama? Some shift that aims to break the deadlock of the present, to perform a restructuring towards a better future. Of course this is not always the case, and in the timeless words of Alan Watts, there is no future - no I - just the universe and the present. A complexity of reality that cannot be fathomed. Of course we are sometimes looking backwards, and always forwards, predicting, trying to arrange our path. Much time can be wasted in this hypothetical model building.

And so it is with the property market. We can predict the flow to some degree, but let us not waste the now on the details, enjoy the moment, the reality and your space. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Crash, Slide or Hike?

This year already promises to be another interesting one with plenty of opportunity alongside some unanswered questions.

Josh Woodfin / Property Journalist

rom the pandemic to the cost of living crisis, Ukraine to the supply chain, rising interst rates and not to mention politics, it feels like it’s been a never ending conveyor belt of problems for buyers, sellers, landlords and renters over the past few years. Some people have benefited, others have suffered, and everyone in the middle has a lot of questions to help ensure their next move, hypothetical or not, is the right one.

To try and unpack what’s happened so far and what might happen later in 2023, we’ll break things down into three distinct areas - Prime London, London and the rest of the country. The macro trends, movements and causes are broadly the same, but

there are still stark differences in price and demand depending on the area of the country. But regardless of where you live, and what your plans are for the rest of the year, one of the biggest questions on everyone’s lips is, will there be a housing crash at some point in 2023?

Last year, in the last month of 2022, the Bank of England further increased interest rates to a 14-year high of 3.5%. Then in February they raised it again for the tenth consecutive time to 4%. This is having a material effect on the housing market, with higher mortgage prices affecting people including prospective buyers and those on fixed rate mortgages that will be looking to remortgage this year. These additional outgoings

combined with the cost of living crisis will put a lot of people’s plans on hold, whether they’re first time buyers or looking to move up the ladder. And these new challenges are already having an effect on prices. The average property price in the UK fell by 2.3% in November, which was the largest drop since October 2008 or to put it another way, in the last 14 years! Meanwhile, annual house price growth also slowed from 8.2% to 4.7% in November. This led Halifax to predict a 8% decline in house prices in 2023. These changes trending down

“The average property price in the UK fell by 2.3% in November 2022”

continue when we look at the numbers for mortgage approvals. In the wake of former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous mini budget, approvals for purchases fell from 65,967 in September 22 to 58,977 in October, the lowest level since June 2020, according to the Bank of England.

Meanwhile, further Bank of England data estimates more than two million borrowers with fixed-term deals will need to remortgage between now and the end of 2024. The Week reports that analysts at Pantheon Economics calculated an average household refinancing a twoyear fixed-rate mortgage in the first half this year would see monthly repayments jump from £863 to £1,490.

But despite these figures, going into the new year, January has –for the moment – bucked a lot of predictions and doom mongering headlines with a stronger than usual bounce. At the start of the year many pundits had predicted a price crash or at least a significant softening in 2023, though it appears now it is more difficult to see how things will play out.

Rightmove’s January house price index reports that after two months of falls, the average asking prices have risen again by 0.9% (+£3,301), which is the biggest increase at this time of year since 2020, taking the national average from £359,137 to £362,438.

£3,301 0.9%

However, this is tempered by average asking prices sitting at £8,720 lower than their peak in October. But other positives include the number of prospective buyers contacting agents rising to 4% compared to the same period in 2019. On top of that, the 5th of January was the third busiest day ever for people contacting agents to arrange valuations. And there were even green shoots of hope in the mortgage market, with rates softening and even some sub 5% deals coming to market, which will be hugely reassuring

for the first time buyer market. Tim Bannister, Rightmove’s Director of Property Science says in the report, “The seasonal increase in new seller asking prices this January from December is particularly encouraging for movers who are looking for the reassurance of familiar trends and a calmer, more measured market after the rapidly changing and at times chaotic economic climate of the final few months of last year.

However, while average asking prices did rise in January, they are still £8,720 less than their peak in October. The early-bird sellers who are already on the market and have priced correctly are likely to reap the benefits of the bounce in buyer activity, while over-valuing sellers may get caught out as property stock builds over the next few weeks and months, and they experience more competition from other better-priced sellers in their area. It will be important for the vast majority of sellers to remember that a drop in your asking price is likely not an actual loss compared with what you paid for it, only a failure to live up to aspirations.” This information should be heeded

by any would be sellers. The market, like a large river, though it may be moving generally in the same direction there are often small eddies and backcurrents that can affect your property price. From locality, to the exact competing properties at the time of listing. Listen to your agents advice, especially when it comes to selling in a hyper-local market.

Price right the first time and save yourself the need to make potential reductions down the line. There is no worse pricing strategy than following the market down.

CAPITAL IN THE CAPITAL

While some broad strokes trends will be the same wherever you are in the country, London has, and always will move to its own rhythm, and this is no different when it comes to property. According to the latest Prime Central London Buyer Demand Index by Benham and Reeves, demand is down across the prime London market (£2m-£10m) both on a quarterly and annual basis, but the superprime threshold of £10m+ saw an increase in buyer demand in the fourth quarter of 2022. This last point is likely the result

Demand - Biggest Winners & Losers

of London being a relatively ‘cheap’ option compared to other prime central urban areas around the world as well as the weak pound. Moving away from central, the capital’s core prime market saw a decline in buyer demand in the fourth quarter of this year, falling by -4.1% to 21.4%, marking an annual decline of -5.7% since this time last year. Chiswick (51.7%), Wimbledon (44.9%) and Islington (38%) are home to the current highest demand for prime properties. Meanwhile, the largest quarterly decline in demand for prime London property was in Barnes where

demand dropped by -29.7% in the last quarter of 2022, followed by Wandsworth (-26.7%), Canary Wharf (-13.1%), Highgate (-11%), and Clapham (-8.6%). And while the race for space that hit the market during and after the main period of the pandemic may have started to subside, buyers with clear ideas of what they want and where they want to live are still moving with intent.

COUNTRY LIVING

Outside the capital, things are changing too. The heavily reported urban exodus to the countryside and coast appears to have slowed down and even reversed in some cases. The working from home trend that saw many commuters extend the boundaries of their search seems to be in the process of reversing. There is currently a “slow but sustained return to the workplace” according to Laura Landells at Remit. This could ultimately lead to some recent purchases being re-assesed once the drag of commuting is re-instated.

Meanwhile Rightmove reports that coastal towns in the south of England, Lake District and mid-Wales all recorded a greater slowdown in demand and sales over 2022 than other areas. The report points to the initial wave of people looking to work from home, gain more family space and retirements has run its course for the moment.

So 2023 may well see a relative boom for urban areas. According to Rightmove, Bradford, Swindon, Coventry, Crewe, Milton Keynes and Southend are all registering above-average demand. All of the above have their own employment options, but crucially they boast good connections to much larger cities like London, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham.

Which combined with many white collar workers having the option to work from home for at least part of the week, makes them appealing options.

“The heavily reported urban exodus to the countryside and coast appears to have slowed down and even reversed in some cases.”

Demand for country properties, like this one recently sold by Moveli in Oxfordshire, seems to be waning.

STRUGGLES WITH RENTALS

Unfortunately, while there are some signs of positivity in the rest of the market, the rental market continues to suffer. In London, the situation is particularly acute. In October 2022, data from SpareRoom, showed the number of renters looking for rooms in the capital had tripled since the start of 2021.

Yolande Barnes, chair of University College London’s Bartlett Real Estate Institute, told Bloomberg that the spike was largely due to the end of furlough, easing of restrictions and the young professional class returning to the city. “The archetypal young professional, who worked at home from their parents’ place and saved money on rent, is now going back to living in real places,” said Barnes.

The problem is, there simply isn’t enough property, which results in seven times the

amount of people looking than there are rooms available. Why has this happened? Largely it’s due to private landlords leaving the market either because they’re making a loss or fear a loss as mortgage rates continue to rise. And those that do stay in the market are increasing rents, with Foxtons reporting average London residential rents climbed steadily throughout 2022 and finished the year 20% higher than at the end of 2021. Demand has further increased due the rise in mortgage costs stopping many would-be first time buyers from moving up and making space in the rental market.

A combination of a mass return to the city, poor government legislation, and some bad actors in the landlord community have effectively removed the first rung of the property ladder. A recent open letter to Michael Gove, from signatories including members of the National Residential Landlords Association and The Lettings Industry, says plainly, ‘property portal data shows that supply is down 46% compared with the five year average.’ The letter goes on to say, ‘rent increases restrict mobility and supply, with

% London average rental prices increased by 20% from 2021 - 2022.

“Rental property, as an investment is no longer perceived to be such a great place.”

tenants frightened to move house for fear of facing even higher rents in a new home. By failing to encourage adequate supply, government policy is directly contributing to the sharp increases in rental prices.’

The fact it seems is that rental property as an investment is no longer perceived to be such a great place. It can be a hassle, plus it ties up large sums of capital, mortgage rates are higher and legislation removes the ability to offset some of these finance costs from taxable profit. Instead it seems that many new wouldbe landlords have simply not entered the market over the last few years - resulting in a tightening of supply. Many see the housing market in general to be over-bought, and small private landlords used to assume that the capital increase in their property

would be a hedge against their rental yields. For the time being it seems they are putting their money elsewhere.

So it goes that the property market is treading what could be described as a fine line. Although a full blown crash seems to be off the cards, for the time being at least. There are many powerful forces at work that could push sentiment firmly one way or the other.

46 %

FIVE YEARS

Rental property supply is down 46% compared with 5 year average.

Demand for rental property in the capital, such as this recently agreed let on Markham Street, SW3, remains very strong.

Courtyard House

Yellow Cloud Studio

ondon architecture and design practice Yellow Cloud Studio has completed Courtyard House, the renovation of a Victorian terrace in Stoke Newington, creating bright living spaces that overlook an internal courtyard. Yellow Cloud Studio completely overhauled the east London home, retaining only its “bare tectonic skeleton” and introducing new finishes throughout alongside a newlycreated rear extension.

Courtyard House sits on a long, narrow plot, which led the studio to prioritise the introduction of natural light and cross ventilation, with large windows creating views from the front living room all the way out to the back garden.

“There was a need for natural light to reach the middle part of the house, thus the idea was born to

retain a part of the rear garden as a courtyard that would sit amongst the functional layout of the space,” explained the practice.

“A Japanese cloud tree occupies the courtyard, which is framed by a 3.7-metre-long fixed glass, creating a dominant focal point in the space.”

The rear extension houses a large, skylit kitchen and dining area, which overlooks both the internal courtyard and the back garden through wood-framed glass doors alongside an area of built-in seating. Folding the kitchen doors back allows the space to open out into the garden, where a raised concrete patio with built-in seating and planting spaces is partially sheltered by a section of roof supported by grey brick walls and columns.

Looking Up

Ross Murphy / Capricorn Financial

he darkest hour is just before dawn, as the saying goes. That could apply to the mortgage market. Much of the recent commentary on the UK housing sector has been relentlessly negative – but much of it is wrong. In fact, there are real reasons for optimism. While the market has suffered from recent political turbulence and the rising cost of living, there are already signs that the worst is past, and we could soon see the market pick up again. In fact, agents in the first half of this year may find they’re busier than usual, as buyers and sellers who delayed their plans in the aftermath of the ill-fated miniBudget return.

Of course, no one is pretending that nothing has changed. Many buyers did hit the pause button in October when the new government’s financial plans saw swap rates shoot up. Mortgage rates followed, and there were predictions that the base rate could reach record levels. That was bound to knock confidence. But, since then, policies have changed, and swap rates have already come down by more than one per cent. The expectation now is for the base rate to peak

at between four per cent and 4.5 per cent, and possibly fall from there. Mortgage rates, likewise, are already under five per cent, and we could see rates back below four per cent early this year. It’s a similar story with prices. Again, it was obvious we’d see a correction following the turbulence and uncertainty late last year. But much of this has already happened, and it followed a sustained period of increases.

Average UK house prices rose 10 per cent in 2021 and another 12.6 per cent in 2022 to October – up more than a fifth in under two years. Given that 2020 was also strong, despite the onset of the pandemic, what we’ve seen is less of a correction and more the froth coming off at the top of a bull market. Most importantly though, the indications are that demand remains strong. Activity on property search engines remains high, and recent reductions in mortgage rates should attract more buyers off the sidelines. Add that to better-thanexpected GDP growth in the latest figures, and things are looking up.

Several other factors are also supporting the market. Among these is overseas demand, which

has played a central role in key locations such as London. With the pound remaining relatively weak, the UK is once again an attractive market. Along with the return of commuters, that’s helped push demand in the capital back up to 2019 levels. Domestic demand and the crucial first-time buyer market will also continue to see support. On the one hand, the government announced in December that it would extend the Mortgage Guarantee Scheme by a further year, helping those with five per cent deposits onto the property ladder. Launched in April 2021, it’s already provided help to 24,000 households, with 85 per cent of transactions being first-time buyers. As chief secretary to the Treasury John Glen said: “Extending this scheme means thousands more have the chance to benefit and supports the market as we navigate through these difficult times.” On the other hand, the private sector is also innovating to help buyers with private help-to-buy initiatives.

Challenges remain around such schemes. Nevertheless, we’re likely to see this market continue developing in both depth and range in 2023.
