UK property market and consumer confidence
Overview
The UK property market has exhibited conflicting indicators of consumer sentiment. While industry reports from OnTheMarket indicated that a majority of active buyers felt confident in their ability to afford new properties, data from the Council for Licensed Conveyancers showed a significant decline in broader buyer and seller confidence, reaching levels between 12% and 15%.
Following the Autumn Budget, financial confidence levels shifted. A Rathbones study reported that only 4% of individuals felt more confident about their personal finances, while 25% felt less confident. This decline is attributed to concerns over a growing tax burden, specifically planned increases to savings and property income tax rates scheduled for April 2027.
