In what seems a sharp contrast to the property market situation in Nigeria, where buyers have no choice, the UK market is not only experiencing a decline in offers but also sees buyers become selective.
Data from Connells Group shows that the proportion of properties securing offers in the UK within six months has fallen by 6 percentage points compared to the same period last year. The Connells Group is the largest integrated property services provider and estate agency network in the UK.
The data notes that, in January 2026, 52 percent of homes listed on the market received an offer within six months, down from 58 percent in January 2025. The share of properties receiving offers within the first month also declined from 42 percent to 38 percent year-on-year.
Two and three-bedroom homes continue to attract the strongest buyer interest, with 55 percent and 53 percent respectively securing offers.
