Just under one-third of agents’ sales in February were to first-time buyers, the NAEA (National Association of Estate Aents) has said.
It was the highest proportion since last September.
The NAEA also said that there were 366 applicants per branch, with average supply at 43.
Average sales agreed last month were eight per branch.
Almost half of respondents to the NAEA’s monthly survey (46%) said the market was cooling in the lead-up to the general election.

Halloween is upon us, and while we’re all in the spirit of ghosts and ghouls, you might be considering buying or selling a property with a bit of a spooky reputation. Maybe that charming Victorian home with a south-facing garden, high ceilings, period features, and perfect attic conversion potential has more to it than meets the eye.
Buying or selling a property is an exciting journey, but the jargon along the way can be confusing. One common phrase you might come across is “offers in excess of” (OIEO). What does this actually mean, and how does it affect your buying or selling strategy?
Taking the step to buy a house with a partner is exciting and marks a significant milestone in your relationship. Whether you’re pooling your finances to get on the property ladder or planning for a long-term home together, it’s important to make sure that everything is set up correctly—both legally and financially—to avoid complications down the line.
