What is the UK Residential Market Survey?

The UK Residential Market Survey is used by the government, the Bank of England and other key institutions, including the IMF, as an indicator of current and future conditions in UK residential sales and lettings. It is covered extensively in the media and is the leading source of market intelligence, highly regarded both by investors and across the industry.

Sales market conditions remain challenging with previous signs of recovery faltering somewhat

  • Buyer demand and agreed sales measures fall back into negative territory

  • House prices edge lower at the national level

  • Sales activity now expected to remain flat in the near-term

The July 2025 RICS Residential Market Survey results convey a relatively weak backdrop at present. Indeed, some of the tentative signs of recovery that appeared to be emerging in the previous monthly feedback were partially reversed, with measures of demand and agreed sales slipping back into slightly negative territory. Meanwhile, forward-looking sentiment now points to a largely flat picture for activity in the near-term.
