UK homebuyers lost £2,127 on average due to broken property chains in 2026, with delays and withdrawals common.
A Barclays survey of 2,000 UK adults finds that collapsing property chains cost homebuyers an average of £2,127, with 32% of recent movers in a chain and nearly half facing delays or breakdowns.
Common causes include last-minute offer changes, survey issues, and withdrawals, leading to wasted fees and extended timelines.
The average UK deposit in January 2026 was £59,057, rising to £62,272 for first-time buyers.
Market friction from long chains, a softening labor market, and rising costs are increasing frustration, prompting some to exit the market, though consumer resilience may support a rebound in 2026.
