Of course, the question though will be, how many people will be forced to sell their property due to the ineptitude of this government's running (or should that be ruining) of the economy?
However, as in the early 90's, and 2007/8, what goes down will go back up in the medium term and continue to grow in the long term. Reason being, we are a small island with a growing population and we can't make more land. As time goes by demand for good property will remain strong.
Their is anecdotal evidence that demand for city centre properties is slowing and larger properties in villages is growing - due to the fear of more pandemics in the future and wanting personal space via lockdowns. How long this lasts, and how long our memory of lockdown endures, remains to be seen though.
The uptake ... if you don't need to sell, then don't. If you want to buy then there could be some desperate sellers and hence bargains. Think carefully about location as, more than ever, location will control how strong the house prices remain in that area.
All pretty basic stuff
