Activity amongst first-time buyers looking to beat the Stamp Duty holiday has provided an additional and artificial boost to the figures.”
However, Hometrack predicted that supply-demand balance suggests property prices will resume their decline in 2012 as Mortgage lending is restricted and the Government cuts take its toll
