Buyer demand and sales expectations showed an improved picture in November according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)

RICS’ latest UK residential survey shows a net score of -14% for new buyer enquiries in November. This is the least negative figure since April 2022, although still signals falling demand. For agreed sales, the latest net balance is -11%, compared with -23% in October, which RICS said “suggests the downward trend in sales volumes is easing.”
