UK property sales dip

26th June 2015

Seasonally-adjusted figures from HMRC show that a total of 98,540 homes were sold in May, down 3% on a year earlier. Meanwhile, the figures showed that the first nine months of 2014 saw property being sold at the fastest rate since before the financial crisis. Some 1.7m homes were sold in 2006, at the height of the property boom. This fell to 848,000 in 2009, but rose to 1.2m last year.
