Estate agent Purplebricks has revealed that 87.5 per cent of the properties it sold in the LS postcode in January sold for over the asking price.
Purplebricks’ area director, Mark Whincup, said; “So far we are seeing circa 15-20 people per house, due to a shortage in stock.
"This is continuing to drive prices and create increased demand in the market.
"Properties are not staying on the market for long and are often selling for over the asking price.”
Here are a couple of properties that Purplebricks sold within days of them coming to market and for over the asking price, with one having over 70 viewing requests.
