Truro Continued 1

Christmas in Truro_S12443 by Ennor

On Friday this search on Primelocation came up with 215 properties for sale, today, just 3 days later the number has zoomed up to 295. An increase of 37%. Which seems rather a lot to be going on just before Christmas.

Maybe their algorithm has changed (I find it frustrating that its so hard to define the location one is interested in on primelocation)... so trying rightmove's search which allows one to select both radius and "added to the site" times - I find that in the last 3 days there have been 72 properties added to rightmove within 20 miles of Truro. And that there are now 236 in total within that area. (Not including Sold STCs.)As neither of these sites lets one put a limit on the number of bedrooms I can't tell how many of these are properties which have effectively squeezed in under the wire to avoid paying £350 for a HIP.

And just in case anyone who has avoided commissioning a HIP is reading this - just think how dated your particulars are going to look next month when all the new properties will have one. Its as bad as having photos of spring flowers still blooming in the autumn to show that you haven't sold yet.
