Twickenham House prices in context: Is there such a thing as a housing market?

Experts at Twindig don't believe there is a UK housing market, but rather thousands of local markets that together make up a UK housing market.

Sometimes an area like Twickenham has its own housing market – and at other times a single street such as St Margaret's Road, Twickenham could be viewed as having its own housing market.

St Margaret's Road, for example, has numerous flats sought by both first-time buyers and buy-to-let landlords.

At the other end of the scale, St Peter's Road in Twickenham is sought after by the wealthy and buyers interested in a specific property.

So, St Peter's Road is a separate housing market to St Margaret's Road, even though they are only a stone's throw from each other in Twickenham.

How active is the housing market in Twickenham?

The volume of house sales in Twickenham has yet to return to its pre-credit crunch levels (Graph 9).

Uncertainty around Brexit has also led to a continued decline in housing transactions.

However the outlook for house prices in Twickenham is positive. We believe house prices in Twickenham will be 5% (or c.£35,000) higher in 12 months' time.

Although the Stamp Duty Holiday draws to a close in September 2021, this is also the start of the Autumn Selling Season, which kicks off as families return from holidays and children return to school.

It is an important time for people looking to move into their next home before Christmas.

We also believe the housing market will return to normal levels of activity as we learn to live with COVID and people move from working fully from home to a hybrid model.

Darren Bartlett of Bartlett and Partners, a partner of Twickenham Nub News, said: "House sales in Twickenham have probably moved forward, but interestingly flats have stayed around 2017 levels for the last four years.

"The 'race for space' is pushing traditional flat buyers further out to get an office space, or a garden, driven by the changes in the world over the last 18 months."
