CEO of Propertymark Nathan Emerson said: “It is fantastic to see that the general election did not disrupt the housing sector greatly and, despite many challenges, the market still delivered growth.

"Propertymark remains keen to learn more on how the supply of 1.5 million new homes across this parliamentary term will be delivered, along with what support may be offered to first-time buyers.

"Home ownership must always remain a realistic and workable proposition for those who choose it.

"Across the coming weeks, we hope to see a dip in interest rates too and for this to translate into lenders offering a raft of targeted mortgage deals.”
