Britain’s housing market showed slight easing in its downturn but remains fragile and uncertain, RICS reported. Key points: headline house price balance stayed around -33% (May revised to -34%); new buyer enquiries improved to -29% (best since February); near-term sales expectations recovered to -16% (from -34%); 12-month sales +1.0% and price expectations rose to +8.0% (from +6.0%). Rental demand strengthened to +18% (strongest since May 2025) while landlord instructions remained -18%; rents expected to rise ~2.5% over the next year. RICS cautioned activity will likely stay subdued until political and interest-rate outlooks clarify.
