...it's become quote a polarised market; the real dampening effect has come from an increase in the cost of debt, so the market has become much harder for mortgage buyers, and so we've seen a drop off, particularly in the number of home movers. First-time buyers have been a little bit more resilient, and there's been a drop off in mortgage buy-to-let activity.
​
But where we have seen more activity has been from Cash Buyers; they've increased their share, comprising about 46% of all transactions in April and that's up from around 34% in late 2022. So whilst that the activity dropped in other parts of the market, we've seen cash buyers remain pretty resilient.
