THE north's housing market continued to top a range of UK indicators in June amid a growing demand for people to buy their own home.
The latest Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) and Ulster Bank residential market survey found that prices, enquiries, instructions, and sales indicators in Northern Ireland were all higher than the UK average last month, with new buyer enquiries and newly-agreed sales top of all UK regions.
But surveyors warn of a cooling off, with activity likely to moderate over the next three months (just 13 per cent expect sales activity to increase between June and August compared to 70 per cent in May).
