UK Property Transactions Fall 2% in July 2026, HMRC Data Shows

UK residential property transactions declined by 2% in July 2026 compared to the previous month, according to data from HMRC. The seasonally adjusted estimate for July 2026 recorded 96,710 residential transactions.

The data indicates a slowdown in market activity during the summer period. This trend may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring transaction volumes and market movement.

Letting professionals and inventory service providers may wish to note the reduced transaction numbers when planning for demand and resource allocation in the coming months.
