The regions recording the largest month on month ‘Sold’ increases included a 15.2 per cent rise in Scotland and 15.7 per cent rise in north east England.
In listings ‘For Sale’ rises were in Scotland (up 11 per cent) and the East Midlands (rising a tiny 0.7 per cent).
The largest declines recorded were in London. Falling for a second consecutive month, new listings in the capital were down 16.7 per cent and properties ‘Sold’ down -4.6 per cent.
