Dial Cottage is open to view Saturday, September 14, from 11.30am till 2pm, no appointmen­t necessary. THE housing market in Yorkshire continues to improve, say the RICS.

Buyer demand remains strong and the number of homes sold in the region increased last month, according to the Royal Institutio­n of Chartered Surveyors’ Residentia­l Market Survey.Despite the holiday season, would-be buyers continued to return to the market during August, as a net balance of 30 percent more surveyors in the region reported increases in buyer enquiries. The number of homes sold also rose.

Tim Waring, of Knight Frank says: “We’re seeing an improving market, with increasing viewings and sales. However, there is a danger of a disconnect if sellers harden their stance on pricing.” MORE than one in four home sales in August went to a first time buyer, according to latest figures from the National Associatio­n of Estate Agents.

Figures from the NAEA August Housing Market Report showed encouragin­g growth with the average number of first timers increasing from 22 per cent in July to 26 per cent in August, suggesting the impact of looser lending restrictio­ns and uptake of Help to Buy are beginning to be felt.

NAEA members also reported an increase of nearly a third in the average number of house hunters per branch and a slight rise in average sales. Supply levels saw a slight decrease over the course of the month.
