The East of England, East Midlands and South East are the best performing regions of the property market in England.
They have seen the strongest levels of sales volume growth, according to estate agency Lomond.
The firm analysed sales volume data for each area of England looking at where has seen the strongest rate of growth when it comes to the average monthly increase in the number of transactions taking place.
The figures show that across England, sales volumes have been increasing at an average rate of 1.5% per month, however, it’s the East of England that saw transactions soar at 2.6% per month.
The East Midlands has seen the second strongest performance at 2.2% growth in the number of homes being sold, with the South East at 2.1% per month.
Further analysis at local authority level shows that it’s Dacorum in the East of England that tops the table as the strongest pocket of the property market at present.
The area has seen a 14.6% average monthly increase in the number of homes being sold, with the Derbyshire Dales (12.6%), North Warwickshire (11.2%) and Boston (10.6%) also seeing double-digit increases.
Other areas to make the top 10 include Blaby (9.9%), Fylde (9.8%), Broxbourne (9.7%), Portsmouth (9.6%), Uttlesford (9.6%) and Hinckley and Bosworth (9.2%).
Lomond chief executive Ed Philips says: “Despite affordability remaining a sizable barrier for many homebuyers, we’ve seen a very strong performance from the property market, particularly over the second half of last year, with buyers returning to the fold and transaction levels climbing consistently across many areas of the market.
“Whilst the top 10 best performing markets are compiled of areas from no less than five different regions, the East of England and East Midlands have performed particularly well and these regions are certainly ones to watch in 2025.
“With yet another stamp duty deadline now in place, we expect to see the rate of transactions completing to accelerate over the coming months as buyers look to beat the clock and secure a saving.”
