Monitoring trends in the property market

The Property Activity Index, from Agency Express, reflects a unique insight into current activity and emerging trends within the UK residential property market.

‘Real time’ data, gathered from the movement and status of thousands of ‘For Sale’ boards across the country, every working day, provides an independent view of what's happening in the housing market nationally and regionally – from numbers of properties for sale to length of completion and sale drop-out rates.

Agency Express is the UK's largest 'For Sale' board erection and management contractor, with over 23% market share. We work with 18 out of the top 20 estate agency chains and handle an average of over 4000 board movements each working day, through our network of almost 100 franchisees.

This intelligence makes the Property Activity Index the fastest and most representative source of UK residential property data. And because much of our data comes at the start of the house sale chain, it represents the earliest possible indicator of the activity likely to be reflected in a few months time through other indices.

Remember - you saw it here first!
