Welcome to our local property market report for April 2008.

April saw less property instructions and a decrease in property sales. A decrease in potential buyers registering lead to less viewings and many vendors were encouraged to reduce their property prices to stimulate further interest.

With the Bank of England underpinning the supply of money to the banks and building societies and also asking all lenders to offer less restrictive mortgages we hope this will privide more property sales for May. Please go to:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7375881.stm
for further information.

Again May will prove to be an interesting month.

Our lettings department has doubled in size over the past 14 months and urgently requires further property for their many registered applicants.

PLEASE NOTE: 1 June 2008 onwards
The temporary period ends on 31 May 2008. So from 1 June 2008, there must be a Pack available when marketing starts and certain documents must be in the Pack. Marketing with an incomplete Pack may take place if documents have been requested and it is expected that they will become available within 28 days of the start of marketing. Where documents are missing, this should be noted in the Pack Index and reasonable efforts should be made to obtain them as soon as possible. This exemption only covers the following documents:

Searches
Leasehold and Commonhold information
Evidence of Title (for unregistered properties only)
You are under a duty to provide a copy of the Pack (or any part of it) to a potential buyer who asks for it. The only exceptions to this rule are where it is believed that:

The person making the request could not afford the property in question
The person making the request is not really interested in buying the property
The potential buyer is not a person to whom the seller would wish to sell the property.
