‘The sales market is strong,’ says Propertymark as new listings jump 29%

JLL analysis suggests £743mn-worth of PCL property changed hands in Q1 - significantly below the previous two-year Q1 average of over £1bn.

Agreed sales dropped both week-on-week and against last year, despite a continued post-summer rise in new instructions.

Sales activity has picked up in traditional back-to-school fashion, but the market remains quieter than in previous years.
