House price inflation gathers pace as market conditions tighten further

The August 2015 RICS Residential Market Survey results point to a further acceleration in national house price inflation, again underpinned by the enduring mismatch between falling new instructions to sell and rising buyer demand.

At the national level, new buyer enquiries increased for a fifth month in succession, with the robust pace of growth broadly consistent to that reported in the past four surveys. Most parts of the UK continue to see rising demand, led by significant improvements in the West Midlands, the North West and Wales. Alongside this, new vendor listings declined for the seventh consecutive month, albeit the pace of decline did ease moderately. Nevertheless, new instructions have yet to record any meaningful uptick since the middle of 2013, pushing average stock levels to record lows.
