House sales 'on the increase' |
|
Housing transactions increased in March, new figures from HM Revenue & Customs have indicated.
Figures from the body revealed that sales of homes for more than £40,000 rose from February's total of 43,000 to 60,000.
Such a figure may encourage those in London and elsewhere to consider investing in property, as it could represent a further sign of market recovery.
Those wishing to buy residential property might wish to get legal help with the various aspects of a transaction.
Buyers in London may be able to take advantage of the fact that it is the only part of England and Wales where asking prices are not currently rising, according to the latest Rightmove survey.
The London borough with the largest monthly fall in the figure requested last month was Ealing, with a 7.8 per cent drop, while there was a 4.2 per cent fall in the City of Westminster.
