It might be just my area but right move seems to have a lot of new properties going on with guide prices and auction dates, i have been looking for a fair while in the last few months a lot more are getting advertised.
Its the same auction houses and they have been advertising online for over a year so i am dubious that they are just advertising more and its not all the same newbuild flats that have been hanging around for 6months + , anyone else notice this trend.

The number of properties sold at auction hit a three-year low amid a credit squeeze, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) says.
However you really have to apply your own reasoning and investigation to many news articles in the press these days - instead of instantly believing their facts.0 -

Seems like an excellent time to cancel "Homes under The Hammer".
Please, please, please.........In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -
I seem to recall reading a quote from a boss of an auction house a while back saying that he had more places to sell.
Is it perfectly plausable for more places to be up for sale while fewer are sold.0
