Is now a good time to move?

House prices have risen 10% in this last year according to the Office of National Statistics(ONS), but experts disagree on whether the current market bubble will burst or not…

The average house now costs £254,624, the ONS says, with this annual growth driven by the stamp duty holiday (which ends end of September) and a desire for larger homes and outdoor space. 

The ONS data follows Halifax's house price index last week which revealed a 0.5% drop in house prices in June. But the lender also warned this dip should be put into context, with average prices more than £21,000 higher than in 2020.

Here at BOP, we have sold 665 properties collectively this year and achieved 98.7% of the asking price, with a 10-15% growth in house prices across Devon and Cornwall. Our house prices continue to stay at an all-time high and on average are selling within 7 days at the asking price or above.

So is now a good time to move?
