Branch Manager Glyn Reacroft confirmed that viewings on properties for sale in the same period increased by 34% to 2405 even though stock levels are 30%  lower than this time last year.

Glyn commented that now is a great time to list your home if you are considering a sale in the next 6 months rather than waiting until after Christmas with more buyers looking and buying and fewer than normal properties being offered for sale.
