This caught my eye whilst reading the times yesterday.
Homesellers increased asking prices by 0.4% in the past month as the number of buyers searching for property online reached record highs. Rightmove, the property website, said that sellers' expectations had pushed up the average asking price to £222,261 in the UK and by 2.3% in London to an average of £407,731. The rise comes after a decline in the amount of stock on the market.
I can't help but wonder if the record highs in property being bought/sold and searched for online, is also due to the amount of bad weather we've had in the last month. Being sat at home of an evening with a nice cuppa and the left over chocolates, searching online - rather than getting wrapped up and going out to face the cold and snow would be the preferable option for me. With record sales of iphones and Blackberrys over Christmas - the internet is now much more accessible. You can still use your local estate agent - but they're also now online and also on a property search website.

A stock market is an auction where representatives (called specialists) of stock brokerage companies meet to buy and sell stocks (corporate equity). Brokerages also have employees and/or self-employed stockbrokers around the country who receive buy and sell orders from their customers, and relay those orders to their exchange broker who alerts the specialist that is responsible for the particular stock that is wanted, or offered for sale. The specialist then proceeds to the area of the exchange where that stock is traded and offers to buy or sell your stock, as the case may be, by dickering with specialists from other brokerages. The buying specialists group together, facing the selling specialists, prices to sell are announced and bids to purchase are made, with each side making some adjustments until trades are made. If you the customer have offered to buy or sell at the best auction price available at that time, your order will be executed and you will receive a written record of that sale.For more information visit us at:-conveyancing solicitors.
