The South West housing market appears to have lost impetus, despite new buyer enquiries rising in March. The number of properties coming on to the market dropped further, and consequently respondents to the March 2017 RICS UK Residential Market Survey in the region have reduced predictions for sales growth in the year ahead.
Demand across the South West remains reasonably healthy, despite sales falling over the month, with 22% more respondents noting an increase in enquiries (as opposed to a fall).
However, supply is restricted, as new instructions to sell in the region...

Rebecca Goodenough and a group of friends are having a Hen Night with a difference. They are taking part in The Twilight Walk, a ladies only event in Exmouth on 8th July raising much needed funds for Hospiscare.
When she was just 13 years old Rebecca's mum died in St Michael’s Hospice, East Sussex. This was back in 1987 when it was a rarity to find a hospice, and at that time there were just six beds available at St Michael’s.
She recalls, “We just felt that mum was so lucky to be in a hospice. I know that sounds strange to say but it’s by far the best place to be if you...

Manager says supporters were man-of-the-match in win over Barnet
“If I had to pick a man-of-the-match it would have been the fans,” said manager Paul Tisdale after Exeter City’s 2-1 win at home to Barnet on Good Friday.
The Grecians raced into a 2-0 lead against Kevin Nugent’s side – thanks to goals from Jordan Moore-Taylor and David Wheeler in the opening six minutes of the match – but they were made to work hard for the victory as the visitors pulled a goal back through John Akinde and came close on numerous occasions to getting an equaliser.
Good Friday turned out to be a ‘Great Friday’ as Exeter Chiefs maintained their top two status in the Aviva Premiership with victory over Harlequins.
Rob Baxter’s side produced one of their best displays of the season so far to record yet another maximum haul against the star-studded Londoners at the Twickenham Stoop.
