UK cities saw big increases in property market activity in 2024, according to GetAgent. It reported 45% of all homes listed for sale across Britain in 2024 either had an offer accepted or were sold subject to contract.
Sunderland led the way, with the number of homes finding a buyer up by 10% since the beginning of last year. Leicester had a 9% increase, with Liverpool (+8%), Newcastle (+7%) and Leeds (+6%) in the top five. London failed to make the top ten, with activity rising just 3.3%.
Colby Short, co-founder and CEO of GetAgent said, “Momentum has been building and this is evident given the fact that every single major city analysed has seen an increase in buyer demand levels since January [2024].”
