As the property market continues to flourish, many industry experts have talked about how the race for space (brought on by the pandemic) changed the nation’s priorities, fuelling an insatiable appetite for larger, more spacious homes, resulting in detached homes outperforming other types of property.
However, research by a UK residential property search website, OnTheMarket, analysed the UK house price data, based on properties Sold Subject To Contract (SSTC) each month and discovered that detached homes are not, in fact, the market leaders this year.
Focusing their research on the four main property types, as defined by HM Land Registry - Detached, Semi-detached, Terraced and Flat - the results were drawn from OnTheMarket’s data, compiled from thousands of estate agent branches and housebuilders who list their properties with the portal every month.
