Want to know if your property has increased in value?

The increase in the number of buyer enquiries, alongside a 2.3% monthly increase in the price of properties coming to the market shows that there certainly seems to be more optimism in the recent property market. This 2.3% property price increase is also the biggest monthly surge ever recorded for this time of year.

Provisional figures from HMRC also suggest that there was a 6.8% year on year rise in the number of sales compared to December 2019. House prices across the UK are also rising at their strongest level in a year, according to the official UK House Price Index.
