We are now into February 2020 and Brexit Day has arisen. More than three and a half years have passed since the UK public voted to exit the European Union. In the intervening period, the housing market has stalled, and the political uncertainty has been cited as a major factor.

Statistics may be boring for some people, but they are vital in many industries. The housing market pays close attention to figures, and how current performances match up with previous periods.

It is vital vendors set an appropriate price for properties coming on to the property market, because if they fail to do so, they run the risk of not connecting with potential buyers. Setting too high a price can limit the number of likely buyers, and setting too low a price can generate interest, but lowers the amount of money the vendor receives.

In the property market, as with life, confidence is everything. When there is confidence in the market, buyers and vendors are more likely to be active in the property market. Therefore, the recent survey carried out by Zoopla, which leaves the organisation stating market confidence is at a three-year high is positive news for everyone.
