+10.6 on previous index reading
The Housing Pulse stood at 107.9 in April 2021, up 10.6 on March and 82.9 higher than last April’s trough. Households in all regions raised their expectations for future house price gains this month, taking the index to its highest level since the autumn of 2018. The survey also finds that 36% plan to spend a large sum on home improvements over the coming year, a series high that likely reflects a combination of increased savings and the view that remote or hybrid working will be a feature of the post-COVID landscape for some.
