Could sustainable growth be making a welcome return to UK property market?
The Q1 2022 editions of our parent company Landmark’s England & Wales and Scotland Property Trends Reports have just launched, providing summaries of the last quarter’s residential property transaction pipeline from listings to SSTC/SSTM, and from searches to completions.
Headlines from Q1 include:
- Signs of a return towards pre-pandemic volumes across transaction milestones, including SSTC/SSTM.
- Supply and demand appear to be finally evening out, after more than a year of a supply-squeezed pipeline.
- Completions are returning to 2019 level, suggesting more ‘normal’ and consistent caseloads for conveyancers.
You can download the Cross Market Activity editions for both England & Wales and Scotland here to access the latest data and analysis on the UK property market during the first quarter of 2022. We hope you find them useful.

It is safe to say that environmental risk and the types of reporting available has evolved over the years. Hazards such as flood risk, ground stability, new energy sources as well as large infrastructure projects and planning applications can now be identified and dealt with early in the transaction. And whilst some of these may be subjective issues from a conveyancer view, they are nevertheless important for homebuyers to understand in relation to any impact, including the value it may have on the property now or in the future.

We would like to share the Q3 edition of Landmark’s Property Trends Report, which provides a complete summary of the 2021 property transaction pipeline from listings through SSTC, search and finally completion milestones, compared to 2019.
The data this quarter captures the end of the SDLT holiday and observes the market as it tries to find equilibrium.
Property search order-volumes were consistent across the quarter, with volumes marginally higher than 2019 figures: +3% in July, +4% in August and +2% in September.
Other insights include:
- Listings were down by an average of 9% compared to 2019 levels
- Completions in September rose 44% above September 2019 levels, driven by the need to beat the Stamp Duty holiday deadline.
This month’s edition of the Property Trends report will also include Landmark’s Demand/ Supply Variance (DSV) report, to provide deeper insights into how demand continues to outpace supply, where July was the only month where listings were marginally higher than SSTC – the first month since October 2020.
