Sales are up and some house prices have risen

Instructions, viewings and and valuations also rose during June, with valuations up one fifth in Kenilworth and 11 per cent in Leamington.

Instructions rose 25 per cent in Leamington, viewings increased by 44 per cent in Kenilworth and a third more people joining the Kenilworth mailing list compared with the previous month.

The increase underlines the continuing confidence in the housing market in south Warwickshire, says Brian Holt’s Kenilworth manager Julie Philpot.

“Prices have been stable for some time and we are seeing confidence increasing month on month.

“Despite the uncertainty over the economy, job security and now unrest over public sector pensions people still need somewhere to live and are no longer feel they have to sit tight and see what happens before taking the plunge,” she said.

“In certain cases we have actually seen price rises – the traditional three bedroom family semi being the most consistently well performing and popular property. We can’t get enough of them to cope with demand.”
