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.

Great experience and consistent feedback

Good communication, clear emails, good attention to detail reacted quickly to problems.. We have used twice now and would certainly use her again as a convincing solicitor. Much better than other we have used in the past.
Rachel
The service from Sam and Paolo has been exceptional - timely, responsive and efficient through a highly stressful house purchase (no fault of theirs!) and we would highly recommend them both to anyone!
Mr & M
I recenlty contacted Winstons Solicitors to assist with a appeal for my mother with the ICB regarding a continuing health care assessment. James Urquart Burton assited me with the process. He was exteremely helpful and understanding. James provided an indepth analysis and assesssment and was present at the appeal to assist me and advocate for my mother. Jame's work is diligent, professional and he is really responsive to any questions and queries. I highly recommned contacting James to help and assist with any appeals for Continuing Healthcare and Decision Support Tool reviews
