Property viewings on the rise

The latest figures from Hamptons International reveal that property viewings across the UK have risen sharply in the last few weeks, with a 50% increase when compared to this time last year.

The findings show how many potential buyers are being enticed back into the sales market as a result of falling house prices and strong investment opportunities.

Even first-time buyers are cautiously approaching the market, tempted by historically low interest rates and attractive prices.

The increase in applicant and viewing activity is already showing signs of converting into an uplift in sales during February. Hamptons International predicts that within the next few months the bottom of the market will be reached.
