First-time buyers expected to become largest buyer group in 2018

While first time buyers have been on a downward trend for a while, forecasters are seeing them becoming the biggest group in 2018. These homeowners will be looking in markets outside of London and are already tracking in other majors like Birmingham and Manchester. This growth should have them hitting 35% of the buyers market. Hopefully this does happen as they were in a 10% downswing over the past few years but lower prices due to Brexit should help these buyers.
