RICS UK Housing Market Survey
Buyer enthusiasm continued to grow in March, with interest in London at a high not seen for nearly 10 years, while the key sales-to-stocks ratio rose for the fourth consecutive month.

Interest in the market increased for the fifth consecutive month. 31 percent more chartered surveyors reported a rise than a fall in new buyer enquiries - up from 21 percent in February. Interest is strong in every region, with London - at levels not seen since June 1999 - and Wales leading the way. The rise in interest reflects a drop in asking prices, continued interest rate cuts and a recent rise in mortgage approvals. As house prices fall, those with finance are now looking to do more than window-shop.
