UK Buyer Demand Up 5% After Summer Lull, Says Rightmove Data

UK property buyer demand increased by 5% in the first week of September, according to data from Rightmove reported by PropertyWire. This post-summer rise in buyer activity exceeded the five-year average for this period, which is typically 0.4%.

Letting agents and inventory clerks may note this uptick as a sign of renewed market activity following the usual summer slowdown. The data highlights a stronger-than-average start to the autumn property market.
