UK average house prices increased by 7.8% over the year to June 2022, down from 12.8% in May 2022. However, as any successful property or land developer will tell you - the local picture is just as important as the national one. As a developer, it’s important for you to be able to leverage property data to find which areas in the UK are performing well when choosing a site.
Our new Residential Value Growth overlay accurately displays the growth rate, as a percentage, of average residential sales values when comparing the last 12 months with the 12 months prior.
Without Nimbus, this information is usually gathered from looking at house price indexes, however, these are usually provided on a regional basis and therefore may not be accurate for a specific area of town.
The new Nimbus overlay aggregates growth rates on a neighbourhood basis showing how that neighbourhood has performed and which areas are performing well versus those that are performing badly, helping you choose the best site to support your goals.
Finding prospective residential developments can be a time-consuming task, especially when researching valuations across regions.
As a developer, you can easily leverage this data using our overlay to find which areas in the UK are performing well, versus those that are performing badly - to support your property strategy and perform the relevant due diligence on an opportunity and have comfort that the sales price in your approval will help you.
