The number of people interested in buying a house in
April fell to its lowest level for nearly eight years, according to surveyors
across the UK. Those who saw a drop in enquiries last month outnumbered those who
saw a rise by 22%. That is the highest figure reported by the Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors (RICs) since August 2008. RICs said the main reason was
the stamp duty rise on 1 April, and the uncertainty around the EU referendum. The
number of new enquiries fell most dramatically in London, but also fell in nine
other regions of the UK. Read more on the RICS website.
