"Buyers have been snapping up competitive mortgage deals as today's HMRC figures show. Now sellers have the confirmation they need to go the market to take advantage of the current shortage of stock and pent up demand that’s causing keen competition for quality properties. The market is set to slow again later in the year when the base rate is expected to edge upwards for the first time. We will start to see an increase in stock in prime Central London and one or two forced sales, so potential sellers should start the selling process now in advance of sluggish times ahead."
