How the estate agent & property sector has changed

Since the 1960s, when it was possible to buy a home for just £4,000 (around £72,000 in modern currency), property prices in the UK have risen steadily. House prices more than doubled during the 1980s, rising from an average of £25,000 to £55,000, and rose in value by an astounding £100,000 from the start of the millennium to 2005.

After a dramatic decline following the 2008 recession, house prices have now soared to an average of £245,000 (outside London). If they continue to climb at the same rate, it’s predicted that the average price will reach £419,000 by 2025. For context, if the price of a loaf of bread had risen at the same rate since the ‘60s, it would now cost £5.16 (compared to the £1 we pay on average).

Despite initial worries about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, residential property purchase numbers have remained strong. In December 2020, the number of property transactions increased by 32% year-on-year and the Land Registry’s UK House Price Index rose consistently throughout the year, meaning house prices were up by 8.5% year-on-year by December.

House prices are also predicted to rise by between 1-5% this year, meaning this rewarding sector will continue to be profitable for those who choose to start a business in it. But what’s the best way to launch your career in the estate agent & property sector? It might just be a franchise.
