Encouragingly, May also saw a 13 per cent increase in property sales compared to the same month last year according to Connells’ figures.

Roger Simpson, branch manager for Atkinson Stilgoe, said: “Activity has certainly ramped up in 2013 with more confidence from buyers. I would urge anyone who has been thinking of marketing their property to take advantage of buyer activity at the current time.

“We are seeing a range of buyers come into the branch, from first-timers to retirees, so we need more homes to fulfil this high level of demand.”
