London leads possible housing revival

The latest figures from Rightmove suggest something of a revival in the property market with prices on average 2% higher than a year ago, largely led, admittedly by London.

Though prices actually fell 2.6% in November - traditionally a poor time for the market - asking prices are up on last year with the 2% difference year-on-year being the biggest annual rise since 2007. Even if London is removed from the equation, prices were still up, 0.2%, an increase which comes after an autumn rise of 3.5% month-on-month after a relatively poor summer, perhaps due to distractions such as the Olympics. The increase meant that the average price of a property across England and Wales stands at £236,761.

Prices fell on a month-on-month basis across all regions apart from London which appears to be benefitting from strong overseas buyer interest. The biggest falls were recorded in the North West and the South East. Nevertheless, Miles Shipside, director and housing market analyst at Rightmove, said the November figures were better than expected and said the stability might point to a “sounder springboard” for next year on the way towards a sustainable recovery.

My Will was written during Wills Month via St Gemma's Hospice. The service was quick and efficient. I have only given 4 stars as there was an error in the original draft.

Found the process smooth and efficient. I was able to get information I required promptly and if not available immediately on the telephone then any messages left were replied to. Siddra Razaq and Tom McIlroy were responsible for the handling of my sale and I would certainly use them again.

Many of my family members have used Winstons Solicitors for their conyancing, over many years. I too have now used them and they did not disappoint. Samantha Robertson-Strong and Paulo Dos Santos were my main persons of contact. They were highly professional and very thorough, whilst maintaining an air of friendliness and approachability throughout. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
