New data from the UK’s biggest property website has revealed that March is the strongest month of the year to sell a home.

The analysis, by Rightmove, compared home-moving data over the last five years. It found that, on average, March has the highest number of buyer enquiries per property on the market.

The study excluded 2020 to account for the lockdown periods when agencies were closed. It discovered competition between buyers is at its strongest in March.

The website also reported that the number of new listings coming to market is at its highest during the month of March.

Julian Partridge, of Julian Marks Estate Agents, says: “Spring has always been a busy time for us. We have already experienced a great start to 2022 and activity levels are continuing to build.

“Spring provides vendors with an excellent opportunity to sell their home and we would advise anyone considering putting their house on the market that now is the time to get in touch to arrange a free valuation.”

Established in 2011, Julian Marks Estate Agents has offices in Plymstock, Plympton and Plymouth and was the top selling agent in the PL3, PL7 and PL9 areas in 2021.
