James Forrester, Managing Director of Stripe Property Group, commented: “The property market as a whole is certainly starting to show signs of wear and tear following a period of turbulence spurred by increasing economic uncertainty. This has largely impacted the level of buyers entering the market, although we are now starting to see signs that house prices are stuttering. Despite this, the new-build sector continues to demonstrate strength and resilience and not only are a consistent level of new homes reaching the market, but the demand for these homes remains substantially higher than the appetite for existing homes across the vast majority of the nation.”

James concluded by saying; “With as many as a fifth of all new-build properties selling within two weeks in some parts of Britain, the sector looks set to weather the current downturn, with new homes continuing to sell, while commanding robust market values in the process.”
