Halifax says they're nearly seven per cent higher than a year ago, while the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors is predicting a post-Election bounce, with modest increases expected across most of the country in the next three months.
Election uncertainty has led to a slowdown in transactions in the capital, with Central London sales dropping off by 25% between March and April, according to top-end estate agent Knight Frank.
