Price momentum remains firm, with the headline price balance coming in at +49% compared with +44% in September. Buyer demand grew at a more moderate pace during October with a net balance of +12% of contributors reporting a rise, down from +18% the previous month. However, due to the ongoing shortage of new instructions coming to market, demand continues to outpace supply across most parts of the UK. In fact, the supply of new instructions coming to the market decreased for the ninth month in succession, with a net balance of +10% of respondents reporting a fall; instructions have only increased in one month since the middle of 2014.
