Britain's Booming Property Market sees 13 Buyers for Every Home on Sale
Posted by Housebuilder Pro on 10th May 2021 -
A report by DailyMail, published on 8th May 2021
- Agreed sales last month were up 57 per cent compared with April 2019
- Many estate agents now immediately ask prospective buyers for their 'best and final offer' to ward off gazumping
- Experts said the industry was working around the clock, and buyers were resorting to extreme measures to secure a home
- Surge in demand has largely been driven by ultra-low interest rates and the stamp duty holiday on homes under £500,000
- An average of 13 buyers for every home that gets listed
