While growing numbers of buyers have dressing rooms on their wish list, only six per cent of homes listed offer one, according to Marc von Grundherr, director of London-based estate agent Benham and Reeves.

Research by London estate agency Benham and Reeves suggests that the Ultra Low Emission Zone is hurting house prices. The research shows that over the year following its original implementation in April 2019, the London property market as a whole saw house prices increase by 1.4%.

New insight by Benham and Reeves has revealed that 70% of homebuyers who have already had an offer accepted are still expecting to miss the stamp duty deadline on 31st March.

The survey was conducted by London-based independent letting and sales agents Benham and Reeves. Director of Benham and Reeves, Marc von Grundherr, commented: “Many homebuyers don’t fully understand how long the property purchasing process can take and so it’s little surprise to hear that many have faced frustrating delays. Even the most proactive of buyers can fall foul to a protracted purchasing timeline and, unfortunately, it’s the conveyancing process that is often to blame".

The average UK property value increased by 3% through 2024, according to an index of indices compiled by London estate agency Benham and Reeves…

The Benham and Reeves Property Market Index Review is a quarterly accumulation of house price data from the top four existing indices, providing the most comprehensive view of UK and London house price performance.

These issues hit the bottom line. Benham and Reeves found that the level of rental revenues lost by landlords due to void periods rose by 19% across England over the past year. Void periods themselves are also increasing, jumping from 22 days to 24 on average over the last 12 months or so.

Benham and Reeves director Marc von Grundherr called the bill a “potential rental market doomsday”, and a director at Inventory Base, Siân Hemming-Metcalfe, said that it risked “destabilising” the market.

Research from Benham and Reeves, one of London’s oldest, independently owned property agents, reveals the top ten of the royal's most famous residences have a combined value of a staggering £6.3 billion ($8.1bn).
