Commenting on the Property Activity Index Lettings Report, Stephen Watson Managing Director of Agency Express said:
During October we generally see a pick up in pace and this month has remained true to trend. However, activity is slower than twelve months previous. As as we collate November’s data and move in to December we will start to see the beginning on the seasonal decline, which will most likely be further impacted by the upcoming General Election.
