Mortgage lenders granted 22% more


home loans in January than a year ago. Sales edged up slightly in February, according to the Royal Institution o f Chartered Surveyors (RICS). Anecdotal evidence suggests that a

stamp duty on March 24th for homes under £250,000. As a result, RICS mem­ bers said that average sales per estate agency branch rose from 15.7 to 16 last month. RICS added that its members were no longer expecting prices to fall further. “This is the first time since May 2010 that respondents have not been


predicting further price declines,” RICS spokesman Alan Collett said: “Given the recent upturn in interest


from first-time buyers looking to beat the stamp duty exemption deadline, it would appear that surveyors are slowly becoming less pessimistic over prices.”
