House buying momentum dips in January: HMRC

The number of residential property transactions in January 2021 was 2.4 per cent lower than in December 2020, show government figures.
At 121,640 transactions, this was 24.1 per cent higher than in January 2020, however.
It is worth noting that these figures are provisionally seasonally adjusted estimates, and the government warns that they should be treated with caution.
Non-residential transactions came to 8,980 in January 2021, 8.2 per cent lower than in January 2020 and 3.6 per cent lower than December 2020.
“The temporary stamp duty reduction has had a more than proportionate impact on transactions, because buyers can afford much more using mortgages. They can take debt out on the property price, but they cannot use finance to fund transaction costs,” says SPI Capital chief executive Anna Clare Harper.
