Prices are anticipated to be unchanged within the fourth quarter of subsequent yr in contrast with the identical interval in 2022, amid strain on family incomes.
Fewer mortgaged patrons and first-time patrons will see gross sales drop earlier than a “year of recovery” in 2024 brings costs up 2% within the fourth quarter in comparison with the identical interval in 2023.
Hamptons predicted that the Bank of England’s base fee – presently 1.75% – will peak early subsequent yr earlier than falling barely in direction of the top of the yr or early in 2024, easing mortgage prices.
The following yr, 2025, will “mark the beginning of a new cycle as the base rate returns to its new normal”, the report stated, including that this was prone to be across the present fee.
Hamptons stated development over the subsequent 4 years will probably be strongest in central London, adopted by the East of England and the South East of England.

The report stated: “Lower rental yields in London will make it tougher for landlords to soak up rising prices than their counterparts within the North.
“This is why we think the supply of rental homes in the capital looks set to shrink further, pushing up rents.”
Aneisha Beveridge, head of analysis at Hamptons, stated: “With more stringent affordability testing in place since the financial crash and a record share of outright homeowners, we’re likely to see fewer repossessions and forced sales which were a key driver of house price falls in 2008.
“Low-yielding landlords are the group more than likely to promote up as they arrive beneath strain from rising mortgage prices and new laws.”
