in January, according to the latest seasonally-adjusted figures from HM Revenue and Customs. That is the lowest level since October 2013, and the fourth consecutive monthly drop in sales. Numerous commentators
are expecting house prices to rise by four per cent in 2015. Property sales were at their highest level since the start
of the financial crisis last year, with 1.2 million proper- ties changing hands. However, sales have started
to dip in recent months. Peter Rollings, of estate agents Marsh and Parsons, said that buyer demand was “still rosy” so he expected ac- tivity to pick up again. “January has seen a boost
in agreed sales,which has set the ball rolling for 2015, and this will only gather momen- tum during the spring – typi- cally one of the most popular times to move house – when these completions come to fruition,” he said. However, estate agent Jer-
emy Leaf said stricter rules on mortgages and uncertain- ty caused by the upcoming election would dull activity. “The slowdown has come
with a thud. Over the last few weeks there has been a change in the mood,” he said. The picture varies depend-
ing on local housing markets, although recent official fig- ures suggest prices are rising to some degree in every part of the UK. House price annual infla-
tion stood at 10.2 per cent in England, four per cent in Wales, 5.5 per cent in Scot- land, and 4.9 per cent in Northern Ireland in 2014.
