The real estate market has seen a surge in activity in recent months, with buyers temporarily halting payment of stamp duty. As things start to slow down and indicators show house prices may drop as we approach 2022, some regions have seen a surge in activity.
Research by national estate agent Keller Williams UK has shown the top 10 postcodes in the property market where buyers and sellers are yet to take a break in 2021.
Keller Williams UK has analyzed transactions at the postcode level since the start of the year and found out where the best choices in the property market are in England and Wales.
Previous research by Keller Williams UK has so far revealed this year that residential property sales have reached £ 68.8 billion in value.

Keller Williams UK CEO Ben Taylor commented: “We have heard a lot in recent months about how the stamp duty holiday has led to a huge increase in property sales and while this is generally true some areas will have experienced a greater number of homes sold than others.
“Nowhere more than these real estate postcode hotspots and it is impressive to see such a vast regional expanse with the list including areas of London, the South West and the Midlands.
“This is not to say that other regions are not performing well and it is undeniable that the impact of the stamp duty holiday has been felt in just about every area.”
