Snap election could hit house sales

21st April 2017

Uncertainty in the UK property market could now be extended as potential home buyers await the outcome of the snap general election. Yorkshire Building Society economist Andrew McPhillips said: “The housing market is going through a sluggish period at present and a general election adds to the chances of it lasting longer". Jeremy Leaf, former residential chairman of Rics, added: “Inevitably, a lot of decision-making will be put on hold, particularly as the polls fluctuate, and that includes the decision to buy and sell property”.
