Stirling & Clackmannan Property POV

The market has been witnessing a cautious yet optimistic outlook as of early 2024. The market’s resilience is also supported by an uptick in demand, as indicated by a majority of surveyors reporting both increasing supply and demand for the first time since March 2021. Consumer confidence has improved, reaching a two-year high in January, bolstered by diminishing fears of a significant recession and a continuous downward trend in inflation. This improved sentiment has led to a 23% increase in sales agreed in January compared to the same period last year.

According to Zoopla, property prices in Clackmannanshire rose 3.6% over the past year, ahead of the national average. The increase has added £5,000 to the typical home, with the average value now sitting at £142,800.

Mortgage rates have played a crucial role in shaping the current state of the market. Initially, lenders reduced rates to compete in a market of low activity, anticipating an early reduction in the Bank of England base rate. The base rate cut, now expected in May, is seen as a response to a weaker than previously expected economy in 2023 and a faster than anticipated fall in inflation.

Rental markets have not been left unaffected. The annual rental growth across the UK slowed to 8.3% in 2023, down from 8.8% in the previous year. Despite this deceleration, rental growth remains historically high, suggesting a market that continues to face affordability pressures.
