<p>UK homebuyer demand has significantly decreased as borrowing costs rise, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The number of new buyer inquiries fell to its lowest level since August 2023, with estate agents predicting reduced sales and declining house prices. The surge in average fixed mortgage rates above 5% and the impact of Middle East conflict have contributed to this downturn. RICS reported a pessimistic outlook for near-term sales and price expectations, particularly in London and southern England, while some areas like Scotland and Northern Ireland still see rising prices.</p>

UK homebuyer demand slumps as borrowing costs spiral: RICS

<p>House prices in the UK rose by 2.2% year-on-year in March, recovering from a slow start to the year, despite concerns over the Iran war impacting market confidence. While London saw a 1.7% increase, regions like the Outer South East and East Anglia experienced declines. Experts warn that rising global energy prices and increased interest rates could dampen housing affordability and market activity. The number of mortgage deals has decreased significantly since the conflict began, and the full impact of the war on the property market is yet to be realized.</p>
