A North East estate agents says house sales in the region are jumping ahead of pre-pandemic levels as demand outstrips supply, partly as people relocate to the area during the pandemic.
Caroline Pattinson, managing director of the family-run Pattinson estate agency, said the pandemic has led to homeowners and buyers to reassess their lives, leading to a competitive market across the UK.
The company, which has 26 offices and its head office at Silverlink Business Centre, has been offering houses and property for sale, rent or auction across the region since 1977, and Ms Pattinson says the local market has become highly competitive as people look to move North.
