Alice Bullard, head of commercial at Nested, said: “Scotland takes the spoils when it comes to the most homes sold per agent so far in 2021, but it’s been a pretty successful year across the board as high levels of market activity have presented plenty of opportunity for estate agents up and down the nation.

"Of course, there will be many who have excelled in their respective markets and outperformed the wider regional benchmark but we can all be proud of the contribution we’ve made in keeping the market moving over the last 18 months, regardless of how big or small that contrition may be.”
